So you see, I took a much deserved break from my schedule and traveled to Mumbai. It was truly a one of a kind experience. It wasn't always great , it had its own highs and lows. I ´ ll share it all with you.
My trip started in the last week of August. On the first day ,I was greeted with a four hour late Mumbai bound Duronto Express.

Anyways, I hopped on the train only to know that I was stranded with four unknown men in my coup. In the beginning I hoped for the best, but slowly I realized that these men were not the best company at all. One of them was an American YouTuber , who was a person of colour. Throughout the 36 hour train ride this gentleman was constantly being pestered by the other three grown men. Such an incident made me realize how deep rooted racism is in the minds of the people of my nation. I deeply apologized to that YouTuber for his such experience and hopped off the train.
After resting from my train journey, I ventured towards the Gateway of India and the Elephanta caves. It was magnificent to say the least. Next few days I visited attractions in and near the city. One of such was a Vietnamese pagoda. There I felt such serenity that I can barely describe it in words. You should experience it first hand .
Now when I say food here was fun, I actually mean it. It was flavourful and colourful, but not really kind to my stomach. I blame my metabolism for it. On the last day, I paid merits to Lord Siddhivinayak, he was beyond the word beautiful.
I really enjoyed the trip!!!!!
