Escorts on the Highway side: Malad East to Dahisar East
East of the tracks, North Mumbai is strung out beside the Western Express Highway. Kurar Village and Dindoshi sit at the Malad end, then the Kandivali East flyover, Thakur Village and Thakur Complex with their rows of newer towers, Magathane, and at last the Dahisar check naka where the highway leaves the city. The hotels here are the business kind: mid-size places off the highway service road, a few bigger ones near the Kandivali and Borivali East exits, built for men who drive in from Thane or Gujarat and leave early. Behind them are housing societies with their own gates and watchmen.
A girl coming to this side takes the highway, so the pick-up is easy and the watchman is the only man she passes. Men living in Thakur Village or a Dahisar East society usually book for 2 ghante after dinner; men in the highway hotels mostly want 3 hours, and some keep her till morning.
Highway hotel? Send us which hotel off the service road and which room. In a society flat, send the tower, the wing, the floor and the nearest landmark on the highway, so her cab does not miss the turn.
