You're a stranger in a strange land and you have to start from scratch, hoping that your work colleagues and the people you meet there will accept you, foibles and all. I was lucky with my first trip to India as the friends I made in Mumbai will definitely be friends for life ... and I wanted to introduce some of them to you.

Hi All Arrived safe and well if a little frazeled after the flight. Didn't get in untill midnight so took a taxi to the hotel.

I stayed in Bombay (The old name has its charm) for a period of 7 years and the pictures that i have put up here are some of the places that are a must see.

While you are in Bombay I recommend you must do the list of things mentioned below. This is give an idea of the real essence of what bombay is all about. 1) Colaba causeway - Most of the guide books have this spot listed so I wont talk much about it. 2) Dharavi - If you are bombay its a must you explore the slums.
