Weekend In Black & White : 10

Towed away from No Parking Zone 

The car owner had the courage to park his car exactly  under the 'No Parking' sign put up here. You can see the boundary wall of Taj Lands End behind the sign.This area near Taj Land's End hotel( a 5 star popular with the high profiles and celebrities of Mumbai) is a high security zone and even photography of the hotel is not allowed. And the car was quickly towed away by the authorities. 

I quickly clicked as the towing van started moving and managed to get the 'No Parking' sign with the van and the car, and walked towards Bandra Fort which is about 3 min walk from here.

Monday Shopping & Markets : Footwear

Footwear at Andheri

This is a footwear shop outside Andheri station, selling a variety of popular daily footwear for women. Nowadays, most ladies seems to have atleast half a dozen sandals and shoes, matching with the outfits and bags. So, even with a wear life of about 3 to 6 months, and priced at a couple of hundred rupees, they are very popular.

The best destination for footwear shopping from small shops on the road (which is popularly called Rasta shopping - means shopping on road) is Linking Road in Bandra.

Weekend in Black & White : 5

Castella de Aguada (Fort of the Waterpoint), commonly known as Bandra Fort is a fort located at Land's End, Bandra.

The bridge you see in the photo with the fort is the Bandra-Worli sea link. It is the first cable stayed bridge constructed over the seas in India, and links Bandra in the Western suburbs to Worli in South Mumbai. The sea link reduces the travel time from Bandra to Worli from 60-90 minutes to about 20-30 minutes.

A visit to Bandra fort and a pleasure ride across the sea link from Worli to Bandra is a 'must do' for the Mumbai tourist.
