Favorite thing: Modeled on the lines of St Pancras station, London, VT is undoubtedly the best relic of the British Raj in Mumbai. Its Gothic architecture at its best, stained glass all over, something Mumbaikers are proud of.

Favorite thing: See the Victoria Terminus train station. This station is very ornate in the Victorian era style. It just seem very English and it is at odds with the locale. The red double deck buses passing by can fool you thinking that you're in London. It's only the cows and saree dressed women that brings you back to reality.
Fondest memory: Strolling down the Marine Drive and Chowpatty Beach. The beach itself is filthy, but if you like observing people and soaking up the atmosphere, this is the place to be.
