Meeting Chhaya in Thane
Chhaya starts from Thane. Shutter times are on her flyer.
Speak English when you ring for Chhaya; Hindi is not on her poster and we will not pretend it is. She is Chinese, 23, speaks English and Chinese, and she is the one Chinese girl on a wall of 42, pasted on the Thane side where she starts from. Her rate is the top level, ₹40,000 for the poori raat, her room or yours.
Thane at night means Talao Pali, its lake lit up and ringed by hotels, then the Viviana mall stretch of the Eastern Express Highway, then the long climb up Ghodbunder Road through Manpada and Kasarvadavali where the new towers have come up. Business hotels cluster near the station and at Majiwada; gated estates line Pokhran Road. Chhaya takes a cab to any of them and comes down into Mumbai, Mulund, Powai or Navi Mumbai too; her fare is folded into the flyer figure.
