Mumbai is a beautiful city. The energy is insane, the happiness is infectious, the festival seasons are magical and the people and the whole city is wonderfully accommodating. Like a giant, super enthusiastic family. We came to Mumbai in 2007 june and within a month, we felt like a part of the city. Mumbaikars. (that sounded so cheesy)

Whoa #2

A train stops at a station for only 18 seconds.

Ganpati puja

The end of september is ganpati puja season. There's pandals (decorated canopies for the large, extravagant ganesha idols)(pronounced: pun daals) (ganesha is the god with an elephant head) for each and every street, gully and apartment complex. I was in matunga, and on 1 small gully I found 5 pandals :O 1 with a Ganesha idol in it.
