ABC Wednesday - V for Variety
This is a common sight on our streets in the suburbs. The Variety of Vehicles is always diverse. Like in the above picture there is a 3 wheeler cargo transporter overshadowed by a 6wheeler cargo transporter and cowering ahead is a 4wheeler passenger vehicle!

Atop the Bandra-Worli Sealink
Click on the picture to enjoy an enlarged view.
Radio One, Mumbai a very popular FM radio channel, whose tagline reads - One Spirit One Mumbai, yesterday invited a few of its regular listeners to visit the soon to be opened Bandra-Worli Sealink that is going to be one of the most visited icons of Mumbai like the Sydney Harbor Bridge (Australia), San Fransico's Golden Gate Bridge (USA) or the London Bridge (UK). I was one of the lucky few to be invited for the preview.
In the bottom left frame is Mr.Jimmy Mogal, Vice President, Corporate Communications of HCC (Hindustan Construction Co.Ltd), giving us the low down on the project.
The frame at the bottom centre is the group with the Cable stayed Towers in the background. We were taken in a caged elevator up the central column that you can see inbetween the towers to a height of 100metres. The height of the towers is 126metres.
In the extreme right bottom frame is Kunal who fulfilled his dream of fluttering our national flag at the top of the Tower.
At the top left is the model of the cable stayed part of the bridge and in between the awesome views from the top is the most famous Radio Jockey of Mumbai from Radio One - Tarana along with Aniruddh and Annie, broadcasting live from the top of the Tower - another first for Radio One!
This visit, with the assistance of HCC, was hosted by Radio One to strengthen the sense of pride and belonging among the Mumbaikars during these troubled times that our city has been going through.
