Mumbai Mania

Malad's Mindspace Garden, Space for your Mind

Situated on the banks of Malad creek, in western suburbs of Mumbai, is the Mindspace Garden, which was originally a garbage dumping ground. But now its a huge garden with space for everyone to relax or do their own thing! The park has different species of blooming flowers, a zodiac walk, kids park, jogging track, and much more that provides that extra space for your mind!

Banganga Tank: Heritage in a Concrete Jungle

Situated in Walkeshwar temple complex on the southernmost tip of Malabar Hill in South Mumbai is the historical Banganga tank. It has holy significance, dating back to the 14th century, and today it shows the contrasting landscape of Mumbai. With traditional temple complex and slums on one side and towering buildings on the other, Banganga is the oldest surviving structure in the city.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali

A city where trees and open spaces are being destroyed and replaced by concrete structures, Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a jewel and a quick getaway from the maddening urban life. We wanted to visit Kanheri Caves, the ancient Buddhist caves, unfortunately a pretty bizarre incident at the park ruined the plan.

Dharavi the Industrial Slum in Mumbai

Dharavi is known as the largest slum in the city, but apart from that we have never cared to know what happens in those slums. Dharavi is just not a slum, its the recycling super-hub of Mumbai, believed to be host to at least 15,000 single room factories dealing with at least 80 percent of Mumbai's plastic recycling as well as other recyclables.

The Ingenious Dabbawallas of Mumbai

Who would have imagined that a food delivery service started century ago would gain so much popularity that it is considered to be a successful business model at present. It has helped to salvage the traditional habit of eating home-cooked food for lunch in a rapidly globalized city. Yes, I am talking about the popular Mumbai dabbawallas.

Mumbai's Super and Vintage Car Rally

The vintage and super car rally in Mumbai had a line-up of beauties adorning the roads. The Supercar Show had cars that cost Rs 1 crore and above, so you had the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, Bentleys, and many more, on parade. On the other hand were the gleaming vintages that welcomed us with their big round eyes and long faces! We were fascinated to see so many beauties from the past.
