India ~ same same

In Thailand, I would ask questions to compare information and the answer would usually be "same same". As Ladika and I drove through the city looking for saris, she asked about the quality of the outfits of one location compared to another, the driver advised "same same"
Was that a means of advising that the quality is similar or simply a way to divert from the original question?

India~ Mumbai ~ Vaguely familiar

Even though this is my first time in Mumbai, it seems vaguely familiar. There were parts of East Santa Cruz that reminded me of Downtown Kingston, specifically Papene. While I could not understand any of the non English signs, the city still rendered a feeling of "home"
