Where are the traffic laws?
by M.E.R.V
You haven't seen real traffic madness until you have seen Mumbai's traffic. Just as this picture describes, traffic rules are virtually not abided by. Pedestrains are halfway out in the middle of the road attempting to cross it while the red man is on. Cars don't stop for you either, so brave it and scream across the road!
The Queen's Necklace!!!
by aadil
Marine Drive (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road) or popularly known as the Queen's Necklace, the promenade stretches from Walkeshwar (where the Maharashtra State Governor's Bungalow is located) to Nariman Point (where all the high rise sky scrapers of Mumbai are located). It is one of the most beautiful roads in Mumbai as it is a long curved stretch and looks better at night as the glittering lights make it look like a queen's pearl necklace!!! The promenade is always full of fitness freaks, walkers and space starved couples who frequent the place in the early mornings and evenings too!!! In the monsoons it is very wet and windy here as the waves splash the sea water onto the buildings across the road as well!!! So be careful when you drive down Marine Drive in the Monsoons!!

< Zoroastrian fire temples >
Initially built during the early Achaemenian period. By the end of that dynasty the three types of fires, Atash Behram, Atash Adaran and Atash Dadgah, had a recognized place in Zoroastrian society. During the Parthian period, the three great fires of Zoroastrianism, Adur Farnbag, Adur Gushnasp and Adur Burzen Mihr, were installed.
