I enjoy teaching English and traveling. If I can do both at the same time, I have achieved my goal!

Mumbai...The City That Never Sleeps
Today I got a chance to explore and take in all the sights, smells, and sounds of Mumbai! I saw the beautiful Siddhi Vinayak Temple which was incredibly crowded....There were about 10,000 people shoving and pushing their way into a room designed for 100 people!!!! The Ganesh statue in the temple was amazing, along with Ganesh's transport...a small rat! I saw all my mom's high school friends which was a lot of fun...A trip down memory lane...Jehangir Art Gallery had some interesting art exhibits up...Mani Bhavan...Gandhiji's home was thought provoking....Saw the masses of humanity walking up and down Marine Drive....Went to McDonald's desi style khaana...Had a Maharaja Mac (chicken burger) and a McAloo Tiki Burger....Yum Yum....Drove past Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly known as VT...Victoria Terminus)...What a day, What a day!!! Finished it by going to this awesome restaurant in Bandra...Spice Tree....It was delicious...Had paneer makhni, garlic naan, the best raita ever (to cleanse the palate)....tandoori fish...I could go on and on, but I'll leave the rest for you to imagine!!! Looking forward to going to Film City tomorrow to check out Whistling Woods Institute (Subash Ghai's film school)...Will let you know if I meet any famous Bollywood stars!!!!
