Fruit picking during the weekend in Bandra (East), a prime suburb of Mumbai. In the pic on the left spot the boy who has climbed the tree to pluck the juicy Jambul also know as Jamun. Bunches of Jambul can be seen in the pic on the right. The Jambul resembles a large berry and is oblong and ovoid. It is green when just appearing, pink as it matures, and shining crimson black when fully ripe.

The 'Army and Navy' Building in South Mumbai - another iconic landmark. Worth a look for its fine mid-19th-century neo-classical facade, this building was originally used as a British army navy store.

The Gateway of India was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay, prior to the Delhi Durbar, in December 1911. The foundation stone was laid on 31 March 1911, by the Governor of Bombay Sir George Sydenham Clarke, with the final design of George Wittet sanctioned in August 1914. Between 1915 and 1919 work proceeded on reclamations at Apollo Bundar (Port) for the land on which the gateway and the new sea wall would be built. The foundations were completed in 1920, and construction was finished in 1924. The Gateway was opened on 4 December 1924, by the Viceroy, the Earl of Reading. The well-known Jewish businessman and one of the greatest contributors to Mumbai, offering the largest donation for the construction effort, contributed 10 Lakhs of Rupees. Out of the total expenses, Gammon India claims that it did India's first pre-cast reinforced concrete job for the foundation of the Gateway of India.
The last British troops to leave India, the First Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry, passed through the Gateway in a ceremony on 28 February 1948.
Its design is a combination of both Hindu and Muslim architectural styles, the arch is in Muslim style while the decorations are in Hindu style. The Gateway is built from yellow basalt and reinforced concrete. The stone was locally obtained, and the perforated screens were brought from Gwalior.
It was a crude jetty used by fisher folks and was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other distinguished personages. In earlier times, the Gateway was the monument that visitors arriving by boat would have first seen in the city of Mumbai.
