Soon, the crowds will come.
Soon, the Church compound will be filled with thousands of devotees, hour upon hour offering novenas (nine day prayers with Mass).
Soon, Mother Mary will be venerated. Decorated. Implored of for millions of favors.
Soon, candles will be bought. In every shape and size. [...]
Not sure whom to credit these photographs to as I received them via email but as I do love our beautiful Mumbai city (still Bombay to a lot of us!) I thought I’d share them with the lot of you, enjoy!

Most people acquainted with historic sites in Mumbai know that St. Peter’s Church in Bandra is a heritage structure.
While the Church continues to leave me awestruck with the peace & serenity one feels inside the beautiful structure, one place I’ve always loved is the tiny cemetery which precedes the main Church building.
Most of the headstones [...]
It’s 1 in the morning (yaawn) & I’m only just about finishing up at work (the things one has to do before going on leave!). Thought I’d share this fabulous view of the Sunset at Marine Drive. Didn’t have the heart to scale down the picture too much, it really was breath-taking.

Hard Rock Cafe describes itself as “Anti-Establishment”:
Irreverent. Brash. Philanthropic. We’ve been doing things our own way since 1971. What started as an American diner in the heart of London has blossomed into a way of life. Hard Rock isn’t just a name; it’s a culture. And with each new cafe, hotel and casino, Hard [...]

I have found the remedy! If you are tiring of living in the Mumbai of present, then you must take a journey back in time to the Bombay of old!
I spend the day in South Bombay with a close girlfriend - doing what close girlfriends do - shopping, eating, browsing, shopping, talking, talking, talking

It’s the beginning of a new month & I thought I ought to update the old blog. It’s a shame I still don’t have broadband - after over three years of living with the internet on 24/7, it’s amazing how quickly one adjusts to not having it. I thought I’d cold turkey - and I [...]
Had a lovely day (at least the first part of it, was pretty exhausted by part 2)
Started off by heading to the city for some Christmas Shopping. Were three of us (& I wasn’t really shopping, just tagging along for the ride). First stopped by a jewellers to pick up an ordered chain. I’m not [...]
Had early meeting at the Taj. Decided I was never going to make it by car, so would take a train (!!) (was late anyway, but that’s another story). Finished meeting at lunch time & decided to call it a day (could do rest of stuff from home, me thinks).
It’s a lovely day, so I [...]
