Mumbai has always been the city of dreams and of new beginnings. People come here from different corners of the country to start a new life and to achieve their dreams. Unlike other cities in India, Mumbai offers a fast-pace lifestyle that keeps people busy. Festivities are an integral part of Mumbai and Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the widely celebrated festivals in the city. It is during this time of the year that Mumbai Ganesh mandals are seen all over the city.

In one of my previous posts on Mumbai banks, I covered some of the top banks in the city that has some cool antique doors. However, I also mentioned that one of the challenges for Thursday Doors is how I can incorporate history seamlessly into the narrative. I’m no history student, but I love to serve ‘something boring’ in my own innovative way. This week, I take you back in time when music could touch your heart and you could touch music, literally.
Writing on doors has always been a challenge to me. Why? Because I generally write about history, culture, food, destinations and shopping. Thursday Doors is a different topic altogether. Also, connecting doors with my travel theme is a bit tricky, therefore I kind of enjoy this challenge.
India has always been the land of diverse cultures and traditions. Over the years, many colonies and empires have settled here influencing the lives of the people in many different ways. Mumbai, in particular, has always been the city of commerce attracting people from far corners of the world.
Tucked in the quiet corner of South Mumbai you will find plenty of heritage buildings that stand the test of time. Previously I covered my college, the Elphinstone College that is among the oldest colleges in Mumbai (then Bombay). This time let me take you on a short trip to visit one of the prominent newspapers in India: Mumbai Samachar.
Have you ever gone through this feeling of satisfaction? A feeling of doing something that has been on your list for years. Something that has been on your mind for long but you couldn’t because of various reasons. Well, if you do you know how I am feeling right now. Thursday Doors has been on my mind ever since I started reading No Facilities blog by my friend and mentor Dan Antion.
Mumbai is the financial hub of the country. Also known as the Maximum City and the City of Dreams this city offers so much to everyone that lives here. I have always been a part of this dynamic city and have seen it transformed over the years. Mumbai offers a fast and hectic lifestyle, but eventually everyone needs to slow down every now and then. There are many best places to hangout in Mumbai for free, but everyone has their favourite.
Most of the times travelling and planning go hand in hand. When we travel in India we do a lot of planning. This is because we want to make sure that we don’t have any issues later on. However, it is critical that you think of how you are going to make arrangements and get the best information when you travel with kids in India.
Indian summer can be unforgiving. The heat is unbearable and the climate can impact your health in many ways. However, if you are planning a vacation or a family trip during summer holidays you need to plan accordingly. There are many best places to visit in summer in India but you need to choose wisely.
What makes a great trip? I believe the definition of a great trip would change from person to person. If you are a regular reader of my blog you already know about the recent Udaipur travel tour we made. There are a series of posts on my blog already that tell you about the different places we visited during our trip. It was a great trip, something that both I and Sarah would remember.
