Hi Geek,
Welcome to the Forum!
You must excuse my ignorance but where is Mumbai? What is it like there? You mention that you are in a hostel in Powai (another place I don't know). Are you only there for a little while?

Oh...Mumbai is in India.Hope you know where India is :D
Well I'm here for a long time and could stay longer if you plan to pay a visit.

A city which never sleeps,a city of celluloid dreams, of rags-to-riches tales
of pavement dwellers,and noisy chawls and of sprawling bungalows
But, also of daylight shoot-outs, of dubious business deals, of bomb blasts.

Yet, the next day, there is the usual rush for the early morning local trains.
And that is what is so unfathomable about the city.

You will know the rest when you come hereWink [;)]

Woody, I think Mumbai used to called Bombay.
Woodward, 5 yr 213 days ago
Thanks for that. How long has it been since they changed their name?

I'm sorry fellow Woodwardian, that I do not know.

Woodward, I have read on the net that the name was changed in 1995 to cut with colonial ties, changing Bombay, that came from Portuguese "bom baim" (good bay), into Mumbai, that comes from Mumba Ai (Mother Mumba), godess of kolis, early people of some of the islands that became in the most populated city of India.

I miss Mumbai too. Mumbai was the place I was born and bought up(then it was called Bombay). Its a city of disparities. You have people living in posh high-rise buildings and big bunglows. On the other hand there are many slum dwellers. Anyway the skyline of Mumbai is beautiful.
