<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">On a Saturday I took my parents out for a walk around (some parts of) Mumbai: the Byculla zoo (where we happened to be more of an attraction than the poor bear), Malabar Hill and the Banganga tank, Chowpatty beach and Marine Drive, the local train back home. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I dont'think I have ever ever seen so many people. I think the 3 millions of Muslims of Mumbai went to the zoo and then to the beach on that long Eid week-end... Socially interesting but physically suffocating... </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I concluded by visiting Big Bazaar on Sunday. When I saw the line I thought of giving up but pushed by my dad I went. You couldn't move 2 centimeters anywhere in the supermarket and each cashier had a line of 50 overfull carts. Before fainting I dropped my empty basket and rushed out (as fast as the crowd would allow me). Stupefying experience. Sales were going on. People fighting to get 1+1 bottles of coke. If this gives a glimpse of what the world will be when India access modern consumption, we should be shit scared I tell you!</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-decoration: underline;">Video of Chowpatty Beach and the Saturday crowd</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><iframe width="350" height="263" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Dwd2KRHa3I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; text-decoration: underline;">Photos of a day strolling around Mumbai</span></span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.indiandacoit.com/media/02/02/716332743.jpg" target="_blank"><img id="media-4211398" style="margin: 0.7em 0;" title="" src="http://www.indiandacoit.com/media/02/02/1733696735.jpg" alt="india,mumbai,eid,people,crowd,muslims,big bazaar,zoo,byculla,malabar hill,banganga tank" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
IndianSamouraihttp://www.indiansamourai.com/about.htmlUn samedi à Mumbaitag:www.indiansamourai.com,2013-08-16:51395332013-08-16T08:00:00+02:002013-08-16T08:00:00+02:00 Par un beau samedi de mousson, j'ai emmené mes parents se balader à Mumbai...
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;" lang="FR">Par un beau samedi de mousson, j'ai emmené mes parents se balader à Mumbai : nous avons visité le zoo de Byculla (où nous avons battu les ours à pleine couture dans la lutte à l’attraction principale), nous avons déambulé dans Malabar Hill et nous nous sommes posés au réservoir de Banganga, nous avons marché le long de Chowpatty beach et de Marine Drive, et pris le train local pour rentrer à la maison.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;" lang="FR">Je ne pense pas avoir jamais vu autant de gens. Je pense que les 3 millions de Musulmans de Mumbai sont allés au zoo le week-end dernier, puis à la plage, pour fêter l’Aid... Socialement intéressant mais physiquement suffocant...</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;" lang="FR"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">J'ai conclu le week-end par une virée à Big Bazaar le dimanche. Quand j'ai vu la queue pour y entrer j'ai immédiatement abandonné l’idée, mais, poussée par mon père j’y suis finalement allée. Pas moyen de faire 2 centimètres dans le supermarché et chaque caisse avait une queue de 50 chariots débordants. Craignant de tomber dans les pommes, j'ai laissé tomber mon panier vide et me suis précipitée dehors (aussi vite que la foule super dense me le permit). Expérience stupéfiante. Y avait des soldes. Les gens se battaient pour une bouteille de coca gratuite. Si j’ai eu droit à un aperçu de ce que sera le monde lorsque l’Inde aura accès à la consommation moderne, y a de quoi flipper sec, c’est moi qui vous le dis !</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;" lang="FR"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Vidéo de Chowpatty Beach et des milliers d'Indiens dessus</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> <iframe width="350" height="263" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Dwd2KRHa3I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;" lang="FR"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Photos de notre virée à Mumbai</span></span></span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.indiansamourai.com/media/02/02/716332743.jpg" target="_blank"><img id="media-4211427" style="margin: 0.7em 0;" title="" src="http://www.indiansamourai.com/media/02/02/1733696735.jpg" alt="Inde,Mumbai,zoo,Byculla,Malabar Hill,Chowpatty Beach,banganga tank,Marine Drive,musulmans,Eid " /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p> </p>
