Mumbai!! (As a Tourist)





I must say if there's one place i love more than Hyderabad, it's gotta be Mumbai. At least as a tourist. There's so much to see. I got the chance to roam around after i was done with the interviews in TISS.
The first thing that struck me was the skyline - full of high-rises. And then, there are the local trains. Though i find local trains in Chennai are, if not more, just as much crowded (specially the Mambalam station - deranged on the weekdays and chaotic on weekends).
Liked the colaba causeway too (or whatever it's called). saw the Gateway of India, the Taj hotel (not as big as i imagned), the elephanta caves, juhu beach, bandstand(for those of you who haven;t been to the city, that's where the Mannat is located) and of course - the 'Antilla'. it was freaking awesome. yet it wasn't like some standout monument. in fact, you can't even notice it until you're pretty close to it. i wonder how he drives around those super cars in such small lanes
as is customary when one is in Mumbai, i did eat the wada pav. liked that and the 'dabeli' too(donno the spelling). drank every flavor of the sharbat, ate the gola, and every other chat item.
and the very reason i went there - TISS, it's got a beautiful campus. and pretty big too. but i haven't made up my mind yet. dunno whether I'll clear any of the 3 courses and whether I'd actually join it if i get admission.
