. . A monsoon day @The Financial Capital of the nation…
. . A vigorous travel along the humid coast-line of the harbor stations…
. . A fantastic stumble upon with the waters of Arabian sea…this time in Mumbai…
Victoria Railway Terminus lit at night, a huge neo-Gothic architectural marvel that is perhaps the most widely photographed monument in Mumbai; the solitude of Banganga Tank at dusk, happenings at the Flower Market at dawn and finally the countless sunsets and moonrises on the shimmering waters of the Arabian Sea. 
After the monsoons it could well be the turn of a modeling company out to lay out a huge ramp for uninterrupted street side spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter fashion shows. 
We already have a Fashion Street! 
‘Welcome to the land of Kingfisher Beer,’ the banner at Marine Drive proudly proclaims. 
It’s a dog day afternoon in July, I can feel the sweat beads gently rolling down my forehead, and am in the middle of a traffic jam..
I have this positive feeling of the event actually taking place, thanks to the next hoarding which says ‘Because Life is full of Possibilities!!’ 
The road clears, we are cruising along at a subsonic speed of 50 kms. per hour. I can feel the sweat evaporating, thanks mainly to the cool sea breeze, the Arabian Sea brings along.
During those fleeting moments my mind races back to the glorious fun-filled moments Mumbai brought back into my life. 
Interestingly…A partially sun burnt poster with a scantily clad woman cajoles us to ‘Return to Fairness.’ I want to scream back. ‘We have a wonderful tan.’ The rules of the game are however slightly different; white is in, the rest out. We now have fairness creams for men.
What’s next? 
Cheers!
Apeksha!!
