Last week, some of our Addaites were on a secret mission. A mission to find the The Secret Scouters of Mumbai. Their modus operandi is to pack the weekend recommendations into a brown paper bag. They are also equipped with a fake-detector, a best-deal-finder and a new store/restaurant/club radar.

After a tip off from one of our readers, we confronted them in a joint at causeway.
