Its been quite a pleasure reading your blogs regarding Bombay aka. Mumbai as well as India, which i came across accidentally. Btw, am Nayan Shah and am an ex-Bombayite myself. Have been in US since past 5 years and after shuffling from Boulder-Co to Kansas City-MO to Parsippany-NJ to Palo Alto-Ca to Southbury-Ct have finally settled down in Poughkeepsie-NY since past 2 years (atleast for now). As a ex-Bombayite its always a pleasure to read regarding the Best City in the world whatever news you can read. In that context really appreciate the blogs written on it and am looking forward to reading many more on the same. It's kind of Ironic that me being an ex-bombayite am in US and you being a American are in India and am getting to read bout my fondest place from you :), not that I mind. Please keep up the good work. Anyways i hope that you as well Anthony have the most enjoyable stay in Bombay and in India. Just as a suggestion, in order to enjoy it, the best way to would be to check it out like a True Bombayite than as a American who happens to be in the place because of circumstances. Can say from my own experiences that have come to appreicate my living in various parts of US, by trying to be one of the locals rather than trying to be an individual.You know go out on a bit of adventure, eat some of delicaies from street side hawker's (Which i read you have already done so, not sure if you have been to Bade Miyan's behind Taj Mahal Hotel, you would get one of the best Tikka's and Birayni's you might ever taste), go to local city beaches like chowpatty, Juhu, Aksha/Mudd island (can be reached from Suburb Malad), Gorai ( Reached from Suburb Borivali or Kandivali which happens to be my actual hometown), Natural Hotsprings in Vajreshwari/Ganeshpuri on outskirts of Bombay in Virar, or even a bit outside city to Diu/Daman and atleast set your toe in water to get the feel of the beaches, Travel in Local Subway (which is also fastest way to travel around in city). The place is full of adventures if you are ready to take the risk. Also look at the brighter side, even in case you do get hit by a local bug medicines are dirt cheap ;). Seriously, Bombay is like a whole country in itself, where you can come across all sorts of lives you can think of. People of various religion, to people who are stuck deep down in poverty to people who have all the wealth they want and still keep on getting more. The beauty of Bombay lies in its extremity and am sure none of the Bombayites would like to change anything about their life the way it is along with all the noise, poverty, religious beliefs among many other such diversities. Its called a City of Dream's and also Mini-India, since you will find people from each and every nook and corner of country coming out there to make their dreams come true. Am sure Bombay as well as India needs some changes within, itself, but let it be the job of the local's to find about those changes and implement it, rather than world intervening in it with their 2 cents. We all know what happens when world tries to intervene in some other countries affairs examples, Afghanistan pro-1980 and past 2001, Vietnam, Iraq, Siberia, among many such instances. Once again, Thanks for bringing out all the fond memories of my Hometown and Hope that you as well as Anthony have a safe and Joyful time while you are out there. Am definetly looking forward blogs from you with regards to your stay out there. Regards, Nayan. PS: The right way to do Surya Namaskar is what your Current Yoga Instructure has shown. The idea is to Bow your head in front of the God SUN, thats why when you to the namaskar its head first than chest and than your keen's. Also it provides a more rigourous body workout to the body. The book's as well as Yoga tactics practised out in Western World is more of a Convienence than the actual method. If the idea is to get a good physical workout you can do it any way you want to. but if idea is to learn Yoga well than its a bit different than the way its practised in US. Also Yoga is more for stress reliving and trying to improve your concentration and strength building is just a by product aspect of it. Hi There,
