Cat

Mumbai is a city of strays. This stray cat has made a home for itself in a building which is partly occupied by offices. By the look on its face you can see how offended it was to have been disturbed for a picture! Apparently it feeds on leftovers of the office goers meals. The people feeding are happy that no food is wasted and the cat is happy that it has adopted a good home!

Common Houseflies

The common houseflies are a real pest. Captured these two fighting over a grain of sugar. They buzz you off! They seem to take over Mumbai in the monsoons! Very irritating..

Military

In Santacruz (East), a suburb of Mumbai, in a place called Kalina is this Military camp/outpost. At the gates there is a tank on display and during the monsoons it is protected from the rains by a tent.

The Taj

Hotel Taj up close. Even the pigeons seem to love the service and the ambience here. Cliick on the picture to see it in its original size and see the birds too.

Gateway inscription

The inscription on the Gateway of India which states the time and reason for it being erected.
Wishing all a super weekend!

Taj (crown) of Mumbai!

The 2 prominent and most famous landmarks of Mumbai. One is the Gateway of India and behind it is the Taj Hotel. The boats in the foreground are used for joyrides or to ferry passengers to the Elephanta caves.

Building Boom

Mumbai is on a massive Construction trip. Everywhere you will find o ld structures being demolished and new skyscrapers being built. Only hope that infrastructure is also being taken care of to ensure a regular supply of power and water. This picture was taken in Prabhadevi.
