Hey guys I am in Coulsdon, United Kingdom. Am taking a holiday during which I will be travelling so no blogs
for a month. Will be visiting Amsterdam, Ghent and Berlin and maybe a couple of other cities if possible. Since this is a 
blog exclusively about Mumbai I will only be posting on my Instagram and Facebook, Twitter accounts and once I return 
shall post on my travel blog. Click on the links below if you wish to follow my travels.
