Mumbai

In that faraway land of a thousand gods,

Among the towers of glass and concrete,

Of its vast cities and bustling towns,

My heart yesterday found its last abode,

The secret place of a silent retreat,

A quiet harbour of love unknown.

By Fabien Todescato

In the truly selfless soul of Mumbai there is a seashore called Bandstand, located in a western suburb called Bandra. The sea is rolling at the foot of the hill, and on the hill is a church of Mount Mary. and on the way uphill towards the church, is a place where the nuns live. It is called Retreat. Half-way up , you can take a pause and watch the quiet, solitary backyard of The Retreat and feel the fragrance of so many frangipani flowers all in bloom.

It was a favorite with me and I used to take all my friends at least once to visit that place.
