Gateway of India
The Gateway of India is synonymous with Mumbai. It was built as a triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai (then, Bombay). It was designed by the British architect, George Wittet. In the past Gateway of India used to be the arrival point for visitors from the west. Ironically, when the Raj ended in 1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of epitaph: the last of the British ships that set sail for England left from the Gateway.

Recycling
The purple rumped sunbirds had built a nest in my balcony where an egg was laid that hatched and the hatchling became a fledgling and one fine day flew off under the watchful eye of its parents. Since then they abandoned the nest till a few days back when the female (possibly the same one that was born here) returned and started picking out the choicest pieces of the nest to re use in its new nest elsewhere! Nature never fails to surprise and inspire.
