@gonsalves_r You could travel by local trains. Ideally in the afternoons or late at night. If in Bandra, desserts at Eat Around the Corner.
@gonsalves_r Spend an evening at Cuff Parade/Marine drive. Eat vada pav or dabeli. Visit town(Colaba area). Parsi food at Ideal corner cafe.
@gonsalves_r Which area of the city will you be? Check out Comedy Store (Vagina Monologues was a hoot) or NCPA if something good is playing.
Back home after two weeks. And didn’t think I’d ever say this, but slightly missing Bombay. There’s something in that city…

@gonsalves_r Thanks for the links. Interesting stuff.
@gonsalves_r Thanks! Reminds me, must make a visit to Painted Platters. Been ages. HBB has been a nice new discovery too.
@Fine_Whining We must go try out some. Been to Secret Garden Café? They’re open only for lunch.
But for today, the tried and tested won. There was only one winner for the ‘outsider’.@Fine_Whining made her customary visit to Cornerhouse.
Lots of dessert options have popped up from the twitterverse today. Thank you all good folks. Hope to try some out this week.
@munimkazia Thanks! Might try that place out.
@ap00rv Oh nice. Yeah was looking at their menu.. there aren’t many sundae places that I’ve come across in the city.
@ap00rv Looks perfect for ice creams. Thanks!
@munimkazia Is this the one at the end of Brigades? next to Kanti Sweets?
@pricelessjunk Haha! Was just looking up places there.
Looking for interesting dessert places in Bangalore. Any suggestions?
@souvikdg We’re ready for day break. It beats burning the midnight oil. @pandorazjukebox
Have fun on your excursion!
@souvikdg There’s one more here. Happened to just wake up and can’t seem to fall asleep. When they meant an early start, they meant early!

Also, what a picture from @keeperofthekeys!
@sheriesm Somesone’s getting alive here. Shocked.
@eclairsk3 Oh. But you’re sure seem to be having fun in the big city. :-)
Sure did. Had to sleep it out the entire next day.
Apparently the Chumbak services are faster than expected. Laptop sleeve has arrived! Thanks @Fine_Whining! Love it. :) http://t.co/1dvxpbiO
@keeperofthekeys Yup a midnight cake. :)
@WhispersChinese :-) Photo is still due I know…
@nimitnshah Thanks Nimit! :-)
@eclairsk3 Thanks Ashu! :) Coming down anytime soon?
@keeperofthekeys Thanks a lot Nidhi! =) My friends actually surprised me with a cake last night, had the remaining this morning. :)
@souvikdg We’ll give it to you this time, Delhi. But we trust you’ll will race ahead soon enough. @pricelessjunk @keeperofthekeys
@pricelessjunk Dry heat at that too! :(
@pricelessjunk Thanks Priya! I see we share the same birth date. ;P
@lokallobaat Thanks again Sumit!
@rakeshrach Thanks Rakesh! Add to it, the Sunday morning quiet and calm. Good start indeed. :)
@RohithNair Thanks Rohith! :-)
Birthday cake for breakfast. Not a bad start for the day. :)

@nimitnshah It was nice. Just that it was in a half-open space ambience. Iterating, Asad Khan’s performance topped the event.
Such a nice touch to send a cc of your enquiry when made via the @miranjdesign website. Another reason to hire them for your next project.
@nimitnshah Yes, thanks to you and @rungta’s links.
And most of today has gone in shifting between songs of Roja, Bombay and Thiruda Thiruda. Also, two of those movies remain open. :S
So Classic Incantations was held at Palace grounds, not the most ideal setting. But the highlight of the night was Asad Khan on the sitar.
@mammothbrain A picnic + kite flying day out at a park.
So one free pass for tonights Classic Incantations remains. facebook.com…manyandindia[+] Anyone want it?
Today’s little joy comes from Apple Chancery and what it’s done to my work.

@souvikdg DoubleTake. This has probably been the best stitch I’ve managed so far. Thank you. :)

@souvikdg That so sounds like something @erm_wat would say. :P @lokallobaat
@jaslinthomas Finally someone’s participating on Twitter. :P
@nimitnshah you went for it yesterday? Seems like it would be great. Don’t think there are any tickets left though.

@Fine_Whining Ok ok, Happy Birthday! :-) Go home now.
___ Birthday @Fine_Whining. While you age slower than most of us, you make up for it with your wisecracks. For all the smiles, a public hug.

@nimitnshah oh! I will be back in December. But you might not be around, will you?
@nimitnshah yes yes but yes. :( No, mehendi was on Saturday evening. Engagement was today. We still had a meeting due I know. :(
@nimitnshah Scary, but yes. Been an awesome 11 days here.

@RohithNair Yes. It’s still there… Towering tall over Mumbai’s skyline.

Going easily 80-100kms an hour in an auto on the Western Express Highway. Only traffic is going to stop my heart racing.

@souvikdg You could choose not to use it. Though I meant if you want to explore a city without having to get lost, it’s a life saver.
Travel tip: Getting lost in a new city can be good, but having Google maps at hand is awesome.

@nimitnshah Don’t know. Maybe he was a South Indian too.
@shalynee Awesome. Freelancing as?
@Prakhya Haha! same to same. America America before that. :-) If they made more movies like that I’d have watched.
@Prakhya So true. The last, that too after so many years, had been Mungara male. Don’t even know who acts in the movies these days.
@shalynee oh nice! When’s the move?
@gonsalves_r Looks like you’re enjoying Bombay city as well. :) Such lovely Bangalore weather though.
Postcard from tonight: instagr.am/p/gCn8K/[+]
Massive thanks to @nimitnshah for the khao galli guide, along with how to cross streets, Bombay charity, acting and the midnight darshan. :)
@nimitnshah Haha! Shall keep them coming. Looks like this journey to Vikrant Circle will give me some more.
Who also incidentally was the first stranger who’s identified me as a South Indian. Yay! But also asked if I was from Madras. :S
Yesterday was a day to landmark: Got a free cab ride in Colaba by a nice cab driver. #travellingalone
Bombay travelogue note: LBS road, by SG Barve Marg, is the auto junkyard on display.

@nimitnshah Went from Santacruz to Churchgate in the afternoon and back at 8. I couldn’t get off at the right stop cause of the mob. :/
@nimitnshah Totally! Loving the city. Which part do you stay in?
@nimitnshah We should probably meet up for some gujju food.

@nimitnshah Currently in Santacruz west. From Sunday might hop houses to Santacruz east and Matunga. Where are you put up?
@keeperofthekeys Cool! Look forward to it. :) thanks.
@nimitnshah I am, yes. :) Free from the 9th to 13th. Free to catch up sometime then?
Any Mumbaikers free to meet up next week?
Looking forward to wedding shoot no. 3 with @garethhoover.
Off to the airport. Missed this feeling of forgetting something. 11 days to soak in Mumbai and its smog.
@keeperofthekeys I like! I’m in. I’ll be away for 10 days, so could I join somewhere towards the middle or end of the chain? :-)
@keeperofthekeys Sounds interesting. I’m all ears. :)
@pricelessjunk Oh okay.
@pricelessjunk Where is this?
@oddysee Thanks! Had tried Lightroom before and hadn’t seen much of a difference. But LR does seem like the better option for what I need.
Anyone, what is the best application to view RAW files on a Mac?
(Aperture makes it look extra grainy.)
Masala dosa and filter kaapi has got to be the best way to start the day.
