    One of the first things we saw as we reached the center of Mumbai was this cart, by the side of the road. I thought, "Whoa. I'm really here." Brought it all home.

    Try not to be shocked by the multitudinous beggars... women shoving their babies in the taxi window, people with terrible deformities... you'll see it, and eventually numb (sad as that may be) somewhat. If you dress in the local attire, you're less likely to be pestered too much. However, even when I was wearing salwar kameez, no makeup, etc., I was nearly constantly hounded for money or to buy something or whatever. It was exhausting!

  • It happened all the time that locals wanted to take our picture and sometimes they wanted to be in it as well. Don't feel strange about this. Look at it as a fun thing and take a picture of them as well it is nice memories when you come home.

    Ever wonder what's on the picture? Well, to us Asian we know quite well the Indians way of life. Even in Singapore at one time, these sights are common. It's actually a sireh consumer who spits around. Don't worry it's not blood.

    As befits its name, there are many goats parked along the streets of Mutton Street like this one. I believe these goats will eventually turn into mutton in time ; )

    Many shops in the Mandvi area are identified in Hindi. Traditional scripts are a pretty sight but not when you're trying to identify an address ; )

    This is a usual sight in Bombay. Yet, this man is probably better off on this road divider than those who are on the tarred roads itself, especially at road turns and junctions.

    Pretty much anything can be put for sale in the most surprising places! Here's a man with his stamps, I believe homemade, along a street in Colaba.

    Among those moving along Bombay's streets are cargo in sacks like this. Quite a feat I would think, as some of the men walk barefeet. Generally, the sights and sounds of Bombay's streets are unforgettable. Try to catch some minutes of the street scene on video! ; )
