Can we please change my name to Miranda Priestly?
The heatwave swamping the city is getting to you and swimming seems to be the only way out. You rummaged through your cupboard and found your swimsuit has mysteriously shrunk by two sizes, or is missing all together and you couldn't be bothered to go on a quest to find it. What you do need is a new suit, and since fairygodmothers with swift, wandwaving motions seem to magically appear only if your name is Cinderella, you'll either have to change your name or go shopping. Let's make that hunting, because as we found most of the city's boutiques haven't stocked up on it yet.
Minimalist: Prime Sports 525/
If you're a poor journalist (like me) or feel that money should be spent on food, head to Prime Sports. This store is on MG Road and does, as it's name seems to suggest, stock primarily sports goods. But if you're wearing walking shoes and are up for a climb, the 2nd level does have a few swimsuits that may fit, both your budget and you!
Go Between: Gatwick 850/
Don't be distracted by the lacy lingerie that adorns the shop window. Look instead at the door that on first glance seems like it's collided with a rainbow. Colourful bikinis, as stringy as they are bright, look up at you in wonder. "How are you today, Janice?" they say. I tried to reply. But the words just didn't come out of my mouth. I mean.. what does one say to a door full of bikinis anyway? I did however, pick up a pair priced at a decent 850/-.
Splurge: Adidas 1990/-
Well! The olympics are approaching and if you haven't been able to make it to the swimming team, but want to look as though you have, check out the swimwear Adidas has to offer at Planet Sports on Level 1 at Pune Central located on Bund Garden Road. Since you're indulging yourself anyway, walk around the rest of the mall, visit the foodcourt - it does have an AC (yes, I am obsessed about air cons. In my defence: it's hot!).
