I ticked this one but really I did two and a bit excellent days pottering with Pooja Sinha Roy, moving around as the mood took. Can't be doing with dawn or selfies or whatever but she was fine with that.... cafes, art galleries, spices, Bandra village, Mother Mary [comes to me], rooftop sandwich, swapping language skills, Welsh for old English for Hindi and learnt how an ancient language deals with a microwave over. Micro-tourism. Mostly we talked and if I tried out any tricky socio-politico-economic questions she usually had a good answer. Llawr o pethau neis. Where was I? What was the question, again?It was my first tour with NFP and it was just AMAZING. I have been living in Mumbai for a long time, and yet it felt like this was the first time i really came to understand the city. Huge thanks to Krupesh and Rahul for such a pleasant experience.
