I've been working from our Mumbai office all this week on a short work stint. It's been kind of strange. I'm working in Mumbai after 6-7 years; and although I love it here, I have to admit sometimes its just not the same Mumbai for me anymore (I'm just nostalgic, not anti-progress).
What else? Was my first time on the sea-link this Monday. It's no doubt an iconic structure & the Mumbai skyline looks deceptively pretty from it (especially with the morning sun & haze). But in terms of delivering what it was supposed to do, I guess its a case of too little, too late - the traffic at both ends of the sea-link is terrible! Takes me around 2 hours to get home every evening. Used to be 1.5 hours 6 years ago. Without the sea link.
But love the perks of working in South Bombay - Have had most of my meals at "Ideal Corner" enjoying some great Parsi food; have cutting-chai every afternoon & a deep-fried snack which is otherwise avoidable has become a must :)

I have only one word for Bombay.
God save the Bombay!
I went there when I was a little girl, it was busy then, I can only imagine what it must be like now!
Is Kabeer with you in B'bay???
FJ,
Um, that's not one word! :)
But yes, agreed, that Mumbai is now beyond human repair!
Jas,
Yup, here with Kabeer. he's been bonding with his grandmom while I'm at work.
Hi Radha! Hope you have a great time in Mumbai. I've heard our office in South Mumbai is at a good locale? Never really been there in person, but will sure do next time I go! And yes... please do post some pics of the Mumbai 'skyline' from the Sea-Link!
Sneha,
No didn't get a pic. I belong to those rare species who still dont have a camera phone!!! Must get one; for moments like this when camera comes handy!
Lol! I upgrades to a new phone set, has a camera phone but I still don't know how to use many of its features!
Hi Radha,
Your post made me nostalgic...i lived in cuffe parade and moved to singapore in 2003...wish i could be back in bombay!
Jas,
Well, I have my blackberry & then there's an iPhone. But I hardly carry the iPhone with me; because its too cumbersome to keep carrying two phones!
Cutting,
You can take a man out of bombay; but you cant take bombay out of a man :)
Welcome!
I know exactly how u feel... i was raving abt it on my blog throughout December when I was in India and even before going to India...
