Maharashtra - Mumbai


15th January, 2016

It was the day I decided to take a full-day rest until I left for Mumbai with Caroline and Matt. Before leaving for the bus to Mumbai, we burnt our own Chinese lanterns.
This was also the time I was uber excited to meet my friend, Eshan who had probably all panned for me - my stay and food.

One night of bus journey and there I was in Mumbai for the third time. Caroline and Matt got down at Santa Cruz and I was waiting for the last stop, Bandra. I met Eshan at the station and we went to Band Stand to grab some snacks from CCD (again, not recommended at all for a traveller) and a cup of cardamom tea. 

A good conversation and some time spent with my feet in water under the pleasantly warm sun.

The next few days weren't much of an active journey as my health condition seemed to go on a downfall. I was ill-starred for a few days which led me to a doctor and then to Ballarpur for my treatment. Ballarpur is a suburban area where my dad grew up. The house is almost fifty years old with the Ballarpur Industries Limited (BILT) right in front of it. Once in the pink again, I was all set for the resumption of my trip.
