CROSSING the road
by MaheshSamtani
It may sound stupid, however it is very difficult to cross the crowded streets of Mumbai. Pedestrian crossings are not found at regular places. You can see many people just crossing at any any place and might even be very dangerous to do so. The best is if you could find one of the subways to get to the other side of the road. It was curious to see this subway crossing with timings and more curious to find people sitting at the upper part, probably enjoying the good climate.

Walk around the streets,eat some yummy Pani Puri,and be yourself!Shop till you drop,travel in the rickshaws and feel free!(Just don't litter-we have major rubbish problems!:) The energy of the place is AMAZING!everyone finds time to work,to shop & to party.The city really doesn't sleep-so even if you're hungry at the oddest times,you'll find food-and all different kinds of it!!:)

Taking the Train

Learnign how to get on and off the local trains from Churchgate station was an education. I have to thank Aadil for my first lessons, afterwhich I believe I mastered the art of running and jumping, not to mention hanging out and breathing!

Although the Mumbadevi Temple is not as striking as others are in the city, its resident deity, Mumbadevi, is the city's patron Goddess. The structure is about six centuries old, believed to be the handiwork of Mumbaraka, a sadistic giant who frequently plundered the city at the time. Terrorized by these unwelcome visits, the locals pleaded with Lord Brahma, Creator of all things to protect them. Brahma then 'pulled out of his own body', an eight armed goddess who vanquished the brute. Predictably brought to his knees, Mumbaraka implored Her Holiness to take his name and built a temple in her honour. She still stands there, an orange faced goddess on an altar strewn with marigolds: devotees believe that those who seek her divine favour are never disappointed.
