A picture illustrating my week-end... Which started on Saturday in Mumbai zoo (in Byculla). I went to see a statue in Victoria Gardens, saw a huge line of people, thought there must been something interesting there and ended up in the zoo! Which was almost as packed as Chowpatty beach (it was Eid week-end). Marine drive as well... And the train... But not nearly as Big Bazaar on Sunday (with sales on food going on!).

To start well this week of traveling I spent 4 hours in the car on Monday to visit the warehouse in Bhiwandi, in Mumbai suburbs. And I was lucky that despite this year's profuse monsoon it did not rain! Otherwise I would have got stuck for hours!!

41 - Smile!

Here view of Powai lake - yes yes it is in Mumbai!!

11 - Good morning Mumbai (airport)!

2013-06-24T15:47:00+02:00

My second home... Mumbai domestic airport... Early morning... Flying to Hyderabad.

Nice no?

Any day nicer than the international airport arrival at 4 in the morning!

10 - A way of worshiping nature in the city

2013-06-23T20:45:00+02:00

I was recently asked, via my blog, by a French architect, whether a study on Indian urbans and their rapport to trees and nature would not be completely "crazy".

I agree that at first sight when you see the mess Indian metros are it seems crazy. And how people throw their trash around like if the streets were a gigantic dustbin.

But on second thought the rapport of Indians to nature is very particular. It is probably the only country I have seen where people build roads around trees (instead of cutting them), as well as houses sometimes. And how many urban people worship trees like this?

These two attitudes may be opposite but India is just about that!! Everything and its opposite are true...

Here a worshiped tree on a Bandra road

9 - Shopping experience

2013-06-22T17:05:00+02:00

There are not many things as stressful as a shopping experience on a Saturday in Food Bazaar... Maybe it is just like in a supermarket in the world (I realised now I haven't shppoed in one in years), or maybe it is more packed and less organised? Nothing pleasant in any case...

Anyway... I was just given a training about new shopping experiences involving the senses (like this shop where you make your own soap, touching, smelling etc.) and I thought, well, India is nowhere near to that... And here, in Food Bazaar, I was proven wrong with everybody happily diving hands in the dal!!

3 - Monsoon treat

2013-06-16T08:00:00+02:00

Today I could have put pictures of people walking with water till the knee or of rain pouring - it has been raining non-stop for 3 days now.

But I chose the waiting hall of Myrah Spa (Juhu) where I went for a massage!! Much needed after the 2 weeks I had and the 2 weeks coming up!! Monsoon treat they say here...

1 - Under water

2013-06-14T08:00:00+02:00

Indians may take showers with the water pouring from the pipes now that the rains have come (and on time, and with profusion), we still need our packaged water...
