Bombay trip (24/25 Jan, 2009)
Intention was to walk from nariman point to malabar hill, which sukanta has done, and keeps boasting about :), "magar vo ho na sakaa ... " - spent time meeting and being with friends. Yeah, had a 2 3 hour auto ride with Kausar bhai (my very own William Dalrymple), and he showed us bangalows of Sanjay Dutt, Amitabh, Shahrukh, Naushad, and Dilip Kumar Saab. so far I considered Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad to be the poshest Indian Area visited by me, but a visit to Pali Hill changed it.
Man!!! Whattan area. I felt like I was walking in lower Manhutton, except for the tallness of the buildings there. With its unfamiliaringly clean streets, it didn't appear to be part of india.

Also visited bandra kurla complex. This is again, an amazing place. In the middle of Bombay, somehow they have built what appears to be a new city. In this part of Mumbai, one already feels like in Shanghai. Many major banks are head quartered here. Accessibilty wise, one can't have a better area, as It is in the middle of centerl and western lines, equidistant from Bandra and Kurla stations. Plus, wester and eastern both express highways also feed it.
