Towards The End of My India Trip - Mumbai to Kolkata

This is an overly long due post so not going to write too long, just a glance of what I have in my camera.

Mumbai

As far as I can remember, Mumbai is not really a busy city especially around the Victoria Terminus area.

Its environment is much different compared to Delhi. Most of the Bollywood actors and actresses reside in Mumbai, North Mumbai to be precise. I thought there would be chance to catch a glimpse of those famous characters but none.

One of the largest slum in India is Dharavi slum. To be honest, I seriously impressed with how those people residing in this area able to live their life there. They have their own 'industries' to generate income for the society. Visitors are not allowed to take photographs here, but the memory will remain in our head. I pray things will get better for them soon.

The yellow-black cabs and Victoria Teminus look good together

The Victoria Terminus, one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India

Gateway to India of Mumbai is one of the famous landmarks in Mumbai. Regardless of seasons, tourists, locals and internationals, are flocking at this area and taking a photograph of this monument alone is almost impossible. I have not tried visiting it during night time but it might be cool...i guess

 Flower Market

Another famous view to see is the Dhobi Ghat. It's an interesting activity to see. I'm sure I will have back pain soon enough if I work the way they work. 

Of course, another thing which is unique and can only be seen in Mumbai is delivery of hot lunch box but Dabbawala. Dabbawala is a person who collects a home-cooked food from the workers' residences and delivers them to an open place near the workers' work place, for lunch, and later return to the empty containers back to their residences. It has been practiced for quite some times and system seems to work well without any flaws.

Kolkata

Didn't really have much time to do in India due to limited Rupees left in the pocket.
But at least I managed to see Victorial Memorial, a colonial building made after the death of Queen Victoria.
Kolkata was actually the capital  in India, before it is transferred to Delhi.
This memorial is made up of marble and has Islamic, Deccani, Egyptian and Venetian influences.
