Ha! Great photos Mack.
My Bombay (it was still Bombay when I left) was NavyNagar and Cuffe Parade.
I went to Bawa Central (Cathedral) so all your Bawa Tales ring a bell.

What is Thane like now? As crowded as Bombay?I am from Shaitan Chowki, kicked off to the "States" and landed back into Borivali and dragged self all the way to Thane.
I still have to remind myself it's Mumbai now and not Bombay. Ditto for Poona, even though the name changed to Pune long before Mumbai.My Bombay (it was still Bombay when I left) was NavyNagar and Cuffe Parade.

Re: For all you Mumbaikars, especially the Sandras from Band
Yup - getting worse by the day. Lakes disappearing - tall skyscrappers arising by the bunch. Forests and mountains getting shaved; vehicles and their pollution taking us to the graves. All this 6-7 years of observation - for someone like you outta time machine it would be a culture shock.
