I heart ...

...the kids at Dharavi who were very foreigner-saavy.

... Juhu Beach at sunset sprinkled with offerings and trash.


... chillin' by the Arabian Sea at night.

... the cricket players at Oval Maidan.


... these two kids playing on a mound of dirt at a road construction site.


... giant-balloon-wallas.

... Colaba arcades.


... this smile.

... Chinese tour groups with umbrellas.


... this sweet restaurant with Michael Jackson memorabilia plastered everywhere, videos playing by the ordering counter and discography playing all night. The owner had bought a hill in the suburbs of the city and and turned it into this giant terracing restaurant. Awesome, huge, and adorable complimentary mini pastries (about the size of a loonie).


... nice, (relatively) roomy streets on Mondays.

... suggested shortcuts through 1m wide commercial alleys.


... bikes.


... lazy afternoons at Sassoon Dock.


... wooden boats.

... riding on one of these on my way back from Ura.

... the Captain who let us ladies sit in his cabin, away from cold splashes from the polluted water and a roudy card game on deck.

... the fishermen returning at dusk.


...private dance performance (and a quick dance lesson) by the ladies in Saily's family. They will be performing March 8th for International Women's Day.


... ridin' the train and catching a break from the heat by slightly sticking myself out the door openings.
