@NitinKarve@mumbaiheritage Yes, m here is silent. In Portuguese the final m is used to nasalizes the preceding vowel.
The same happens in Baçaim. Its pronunciation is not Basem or Bakem, but Basai.
Take Basílica do Bom Jesus as another example. Correct pronunciation is Basílica do Bo Jesus.
Found old IRC logs on an external HDD today, pure joy! They hurled me back to my Android dev days, porting the latest Android version, wrestling bugs and stabilizing builds with the XDA forums community.
Shipping issues are testing my patience. India Post lost my parcel, DHL wanted a letter for a postcard, Deutsche Post sent my package to Australia instead of India, and I paid for USPS shipping only to get Asendia. My bad luck with shipping is relentless these days.
@nidhi783 The start of work on the pavilion, along with its specifications, was reported in The Times of India on 21 May 1892, with its opening covered in the 13 July 1892 edition. On 27 May 1911, it was reported that the Bombay Port Trust had granted government approval for its removal.

@Ananth_IRAS @TheVishalKay No sir, these are main line tracks. Mahim-Bandra was quadrupled in 1917, Dadar-Mahim in 1922. Work to quadruple entire Grant Road-Borivali section began in late 1924 and was opened on 31 Oct 1926 by Sir Ernest Jackson. Gujarat Mail was first passenger train on the new tracks.
@TanishLegendv2@mumbaiheritage Ballard Pier station was never closed in 1944. Only regular trains connecting with steamers were stopped at time of independence. Special trains continued to run to and from Ballard Pier at least until 1970s. The station and tracks themselves existed at least until 1980s.
When it comes to old railway postcards, the real photo postcards by the Locomotive Publishing Co. >>>>>>>>>>> every other. Their RPPCs are the best of the best.

After receiving hundreds of international parcels from 8–9 countries, I have to say @RoyalMail is the best postal service. I’ve never needed to file a complaint, and parcels always leave the UK within 2–4 days of posting.
