My earlier Mumbai report was my first report here. At that time I didn't know how to use image-uploading sites so I didn't put many pictures here. I thought of making another report with more pictures of Mumbai. Mumbai is one of my favourite cities in India, despite the fact that numerous other cities, such as Delhi or Hyderabad, have much more to offer in terms of history. Mumbai is a dynamic, diverse city with lots of markets, a nice seaside and great architecture. I'll try with the neighbourood of Byculla, which is in central Mumbai. It doesn't fit into the colonial, old town-style commercial and financial district of South Mumbai, not does it fit into the new, rapidly expanding suburbs of North Mumbai. Geographically, and otherwise, this area is completely different to anywhere in the city. This atmospheric market area, which seems rather out of place in one of India's fast-paced metropolises, is known as Chor Bazaar (Thieves' market). It is famous for antiques.

Good start, Ansh. I always like to see your street pictures.

Like bjd, I really like all of the photos of ordinary neighbourhoods, because for those of us on the other side of the planet, there is absolutely nothing "ordinary" about them!
Just wondering: now that you are taking more and more pictures, have you ever had a problem with people not wanting to be photographed?

Interesting question Kerouac. In general, I don't take 'specific' people pictures often- usually random market/neighbourhood scenes, where people do not seem to mind. Of course, in some places, I get a lot of stares while holding a camera but that happens in places which probably don't see too much tourist traffic.

I especially like your nighttime photo of Marine Drive, Ansh.

Nice shots of the rain and rough water. I sure wouldn't want to be out in a boat in that mess.

I do too. In fact this is a great glimpse into a great city.
