Backpack@Mumbai

As my friend calls it…..and she loves such kind of trips and I loved it too…….trips where you move around with your backpacks, belongings and therefore in action all the time….

The destination was Mumbai and we were there for just two days and wanted to have all the fun and explore Mumbai as much as we could in these 2 days……the weekend…

We visited more or less all different kinds of places….be it…..holy place of Haji Ali, be it shopping mall called Atria, Institute@JJ School of Arts and IIT, took a ride in Open Air Bus by Maharastra Tourism, saw the proud old heritage of Mumbai….which includes Gateway of India, University building, VT and Churchgate…..Kala Ghoda, Town Hall and many more……went on a ferryboat, 5 star hotel@Renaissance, also visited the Surf Excel Presents Times of India Kala Ghoda Arts Festival…..it was great fun….visited friends' places and went for a Marathi wedding (senior’s wedding) to complete the whole package…..

We traveled in almost all means of public transport in Mumbai of which local train was great fun (though have traveled in it earlier)….The pushing, the squeezing, the banging …..Was a great experience for all of us……especially for the 1st timers AK and NK……

We traveled right across the city of Mumbai….from thane, mulund to churchgate, VT….It was great to experience so much of Mumbai ……never expected, that we will be able to cover Mumbai to this extent in such a short span of time….the trip was worth million dollars…. hahahhaa…..total Paisa Wasool again…..

This was my 4th trip to Mumbai- The city that never sleeps….and was the best one ever and beats all my previous visits quite convincingly…….hurray…..( but missed few people…wished they were around)……
