Mumbai Darshan

So, it was me who is going to experience the Mumbai City of dreams for the first time. I reached the station at 10. We all friends gathered at the station and were waiting for Mumbai CSMT. The train arrived at 10:14 and the journey began.

One by one the train was reaching at the stations. After every single station by curiosity level was increasing. There were so many strange faces with different expressions. I was just watching them like a 3 year old kid. The slow train was way too much slower. 

This was the very first photo I clicked after reaching Mumbai. Like it was a huge architectural structure which I was watching live. It was a complete xerox copy of what I have seen in the films. After this we went on to some more places. Don't worry we'll take a look at them.

This one of the most oldest building in Mumbai, can anybody could guess?.....
Okay let me tell you what it is. This is the University of Mumbai. It was established on 18 July 1857. So basically this is place from where the college students get there boring syallabus.

After this we had gone to some more places to visit like Zara fort, Oval maidan and Jehangir art gallery. While going from the art gallery I met a man named Saudagar Abdul Gani a 65 year old painter who sells bookmarks and some his own paintings. Mr. Gani was a student of J.J institute. He started painting from the age of 13. I talked to him, he shared some of his amazing artworks and really interesting stories. After talking to him I felt really honoured that I meet this amazing artist.

After this we saw some amazing artworks by many artists. Some were mandala art, some were traditional art. It was a whole art gallery on that footpath.

Then We went to Colaba causway. I have never seen such a huge market in my entire life. There were so many things jewellery, clothes, sunglasses, food stalls. It seems like there's a 'Mela' I have visited. After that we headed towards the two iconic things for which every mumbaikar is proud of. The Taj hotel and Gateway of India. It was so amazing to stand in front of these two monuments. Also, the moment when you go there it will ultimately remind you of 26/11. 
Now it was time to say goodbye. This was the first time I have experienced Mumbai in my life and definitely it was worth each penny. Just a goodbye photo which was clicked by each and every member of my group, LOL.
