Mumbai itself is a whole mixture. Of course with the monsoon weather, things seem messier. Buildings definitely suffer from the heat and humidity. Every building shows signs of rusting, paint damage etc. However, there is more greenery than I anticipated, giving a special touch. The old is mixed up with the new, but the new does not look very new. I sometimes feel like we are living in one of those towns you pass by on your drive down to the beach. The slums are all over the place. There are lots of people in the sense that you never find a quiet spot out there and there is always movement, but so far it hasn’t been suffocating and we’ve had our own walking space (just watch out the where you step!!!)
These above picture is our view from the apartment living room. Martin and I fight over out sofa spot because if you sit at one end, you can watch this wonderful view of the ocean. The picture below, is from the rooftop.
