Mohammed Ali Road is one of the oldest districts of Bombay with a 'City of Djins' feel to it. Here one enters into a time warp; the area is populated by Muslims; old shops often selling exotic things like perfume and surma (eyeliner) are found here. The lettering and their formations borrow a lot from the Islamic calligraphic style even when they are in English.
