#RohintonMistry's #SuchALongJourney (1991),a book about life in Bombay,raised furore in 2010 when #AadityaThackeray (@AUThackeray) led a movement to successfully withdraw it from the #MumbaiUniversity syllabus for being against #Maharashtrians and #ShivSena leader #BalThackeray!

Despite having to suffer through the quirks of Bombay, there is still an old school charm that this place can't seem to shake. The song is just a reinforcement that every frame and picture,in Bombay is a movie waiting to happen.#mumbai #streetsofmumbai #bombay #marinedrive #film

Best known for its non-vegetarian cuisine and bigger-than-the-plate tandoori rotis, the food is both lip-smackingly delicious and easy on the pocket.

Serving delectable Mughlai food, Baghdadi is a restaurant known to few around the city. Its rustic, unchanged appearance, combined with its manually changing menu board, give it the feel of a place frozen in time.

Moreover, the flooring and bookshelves inside the library were made using Burma teak shipped from Myanmar. The Durbar Hall of the Asiatic Society portrays the marble statues of all those scholars who contributed to the society by their literary work. #mumbai

The majestic architectural building of the Town Hall possesses the historical Asiatic Society of Mumbai’s (formerly Bombay) library. The ornate staircases leading to the world of literature are just the beginning of this monumental beauty.@mckalra @mybmc @mumbaiheritage

"In the center of the intersection I could see a fifteen-year-old boy…pushing himself by his hands from car to car...begging. The light changed to green..."
