  • During our daytrips in Jul 2004, our taxi often pass by this castle on the highway back to our hotel in Byculla but we don't know what this building is.

    But VTer aadil took a taxi in Sep 2004 and confirmed for us that this castle-like building is Sanitarium of the Jamshetji Jeejeebhoy (JJ) Hospital. God bless the helpful VTer aadil for checking this out for us!!!

  • It's actually good if you could roam Mumbai yourself rather than follow a planned itinerary by an agent. Look here a Rolex restaurant we came across! ; )

  • You would surely pass by the KR Cama Oriental Institute when you make a trip around Fort district.

    It seems to me this building mainly serves language schools, religious and language libraries and Zoroastrian classes.

  • It was an interesting walk for us through the housing area Mandvi Fire Station along the same street as Shalimar Cold Drinks. Caught sight of this place called Karimabad Housing Society. If anyone knows what this place is about, do let me know...

  • The Gloria Church in Byculla is a Catholic Community Church that runs also a school for handicapped children.

    It is noteworthy that the columns of Byculla Church were shipped from England and originally meant for but were too large for Bombay Town Hall.

  • It is noteworthy that the columns of Byculla Church were shipped from England and originally meant for but were too large for Bombay Town Hall.

    In 1998 when Christian leaders peacefully protest against the threat of Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Gujarat government to stop grants-in-aid to the educational institutions run by their organisations, the Gloria Church in Byculla marked the protest by switching off the lights and people marched with candles.

  • Constructed during the British Era, the grey stones of the Gloria Church support a lofty tower and four turrets that rise up to 160 feet and even today compete in height with the surrounding buildings. Its 90-year-old edifice is built in English Gothic style in the form of a Latin cross.

     its Muslim Mumbaikar. A guy from america is american, so a guy from mumbai (new name of bombay) is called a mumbaikar. :) anyways to be honest, a mumbaikar is a mumbaikar, caste has nothing to do with it :)
