It is Sunday in Mumbai. One of the few days of the week when the whole family may have a day off, as most kids here go to school also on Saturdays. The cricket fields, the malls and the sea promenade are packed with people. Families go for walks together along the sea, they have a pick nick or they hit the movies or the parks. The weather is warm and sunny, and of course we go with the flow, we expats too:-) Here are a few pics from our Sunday:
And as everywhere else in the world: going for a stroll at the sea promenade is popular also here! A wonderful place to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sun set in the ocean.

And a big day for our city today! You see, we came over these long lines and crowds of people. We couldn't really understand what they were lining up for, or what they were staring at high up there in the air! But then it hit us! Aha! THE MONORAIL! Today it opened, and any attempt to improve the public transportation in Mumbai we warmly welcome! And as with anything new - people were lining up to check out what this was about! You can read about more about the new monorail in Times Of India.

DeleteGlad that you got as sneak peak into the monorail, Eli! I am yet to see it besides those pictures in the newspaper. Loved your Sunday expedition capturing a slice of the city -- cricket is a big time passion and no better way to experience it, i feel, than stop by a gully and see some kids battle it out for the day! :)
