Visit to Mumbai

Yep.....the month of december was marked for the visit to two of the most developed city of India......Mumbai and Pune

Yeah it was an official visit whereby i had various meetings scheduled at both the venues.....but still i was able to take some time out for freaking and sight-seeing......
"Mumbai" .....the dreamland.....
yeah i had heard a lot bout this place....n to some extent i found it that way itself.....
the city never sleeps...its true cuz when i reached there it was already 2330 hrs.....i thought that with my very first visit to this place i will be seeing empty streets....stray dogs barking on the passer's by n a few road romeos and late night workers......
But it was kinda.....ohho.....so much of public available at that point of time..... n even at a suburb like "Santacruz"
From that day uptill the last day of Mumbai visit i had various meetings at Jogehwari, Malad, Andheri, kurla, kanjurmarg, Vikhroli, CBD Belapur, Vashi and CST/Colaba.....
the one thing i found was that you will find people literally in every nook and corner of the city....and at any time 24*7......
I was able to visit some b'ful places in the meantime like Siddhivinayak temple, mahalaxmi temple and Haji Ali.....
it was b'ful to see the harmony among people of various communities there....the one most b'ful thing i've observed at Mumbai was Mahalaxmi temple and Haji ali being situated within half a kilometre.....
i believe i am lucky enough to have visited these places which are very similar to Ajmer's Pushkar temple and Khwaza Moinuddin Chishti's dargah.....


Now lets tell u bout some colorful and scenic places of Mumbai......
Juhu beach was good and Mr. Bacchan's "Jalsa" being in the vicinity.....it was nice experience.....

okay okay.....now 'am gonna tell u bout the heart & soul of Mumbai.....CST
CST or VT or Colaba it is a blend of classical old buildings and the most modern and b'ful establishments....with the who's who of every field being available in that part it is really a must see.....

The Taj mahal Hotel, The Gateway of India......Marine Drive.....they are really very fantabulous.....
