Mumbai

As I begin to write this article the lines of movie "Wake up Sid" come to my mind: what should I write about this city that has not been told before. But I am sure there is much more to explore, a lot more to find out. A dreamland for many, the gateway to glamour world , the entry to showbiz, or an opportunity to explore any possibility to follow one's dreams, or probably the place that discovers a better you, may be the best of you.
 It is a pilgrim tour if you wish. Beginning from the famous Siddhivinayak temple,  one can move on to Mahalakshmi temple, Iskon temple, Mount Mary Church and the Haji Ali Dargah.
Mumbai is an adventure trip with trekking in Lonavala or khandala and water sports in Alibaug.
It is a historical trip if you check out the Elephanta Caves, Kanaheri caves or the old buildings at the Churchgate.
And then there is the city itself. Explore every bit of it slowly. Travel in a local train. If you cannot make it in  the peak hours, try it in the afternoon. Just look around and you will see people busy with their smart phones, laptops or books. Some watching a movie and some a funny video. Take a walk on on the Juhu beach, see every class and every age group  of people enjoying there. Don't go to a mall, instead check out the market located at any of the stations of the local train. you will find anything and everything. Furniture, Clothes, groceries,  eateries,  school, a dance or a music class, a gym, restaurants, bakeries, and the local joints. Don't miss the Mumbai sandwich and Wada Pav.
Visit Nehru Science Centre, go for boating in the Powai Lake and the then see the Gift of Science live before you "The Bandra -Worli sea link". Sit on the wall , watch the waves rushing towards you with a lot of sound. It takes you to a different journey altogether, either they are able to to share their own story or they force you to tell them your's.The experience is ultimate.
Do tell your's when you visit.
