    • Here's a replica of what seen of Gandhi meeting the Queen of England. He wore simple robes and his belief is to live life with the minimum requirement. He has been a fatherly figure to Indians if not the world of his doings. He's merge the people to live harmoniously in different racial and religious status.

    He was once, deny entry to a first class train even though he holds a first class ticket. Just because he was an Indian.

    • It's situated near to our hotel. I took a photo of the church almost everyday but at a different angle of course. The architecture is superb.

    Besides the church there's a school. It's at Byculla.

    • Words of wisdom from a wise man. ~ Mahatma Gandi

    This is one man, India or infact the world will never forget. His sense in appreciating life and ways differs than many political leaders. Still the unbeliever wants him dead as he creates uncertainties to them.

    • I was told that this is one of the oldest church in Mumbai. You can hardly miss it if you're travelling down the road to the gate of India.

    • Before going to the Haji Ali tomb where the mosque is you'll see a small mosque where in Malay we would call "surau".

    It caters for prayers too but it is much smaller than a mosque just like the christian besides going to the Church they'd go to the Chapel.

    • Ever wonder what's on the picture? Well, to us Asian we know quite well the Indians way of life. Even in Singapore at one time, these sights are common.

    It's actually a sireh consumer who spits around. Don't worry it's not blood.

    • The inside of gloria church. We managed to go in while there's no prayers done. It looked nice but I think presevation need to be done up here. As it's getting to look old and worn from the inside.
