Mumbai Diary : Page-1

Almost four months back (on 18th April, 2010) I reached to Mum­bai to join in my com­pany. This is not my first visit to the most styl­ish city of my coun­try. In fact, I had seen most of the beau­ti­ful places in this city in the vis­its I had made before. This visit is obvi­ously
