Bandra Worli Sealink

Hit the BWSL on the last day of its' *toll-free* state, and was surely not alone. Had probably almost all of Mumbai for company, and best of all Mia had her first real drive. She enjoyed (I guess) the sight, but was a tad tired due to the slow traffic that we hit before getting on the Sealink.
Honestly, its' a marvel of enggineering. An awesome gift to an awesome city I call home. It would indeed be quite a drive on a windy rain day, would surely be going there often.

I have found myself thinking about what would really be the "image" of Mumbai that people would identify with, and since the Metro is still under construction, the BWSL surely takes this honor. Move away Gateway of India, we sincerely dont need colonial hangovers. When it eventually completes, the whole of Mumbai would be within reach of 40-50 minutes from my home. It is progress like this that makes you proud about your nation, its' governance and its' place under the sun. Jai Ho!
