• Things to do in Mumbai – Synopsis of my Fun Plan! (PART I)

      This is going to be a touristy kind of post. So this is not for those who live and work in Mumbai… because I’m sure they’d have seen and done these things every time an out of town relative or friend popped by.

  • Indigo Deli, Colaba – a slice of breakfast heaven!

    When a friend suggested that I get up early one Sunday morning and drive down to ‘Indigo Deli’ in Colaba for breakfast, I was skeptical.

Sheila Rao

Wednesday, 10th December

Sheila started the day on a happy note. Getting special tea in bed can do that to someone. Arguing with your husband the night before did seem to have atleast one benefit. Ankush, her husband, had probably felt guilty about their argument and had decided to get up early and make up with a cup of his special tea. Well, made up they definitely were! Dressing for work, Sheila hummed to herself. It was going to be a good day.
