Monday Moods: Bom-Bae my Love.









Hello! 

Bombay sure does take my breath away sometimes. 
So blessed to be living in a city where past and present and future co-exist in such harmony. 
I can't help but stare and be awestruck by the beauty of these gothic building in Fort.
VT or CST is so much more than just a train station. It is a heritage building and a landmark piece of history all rolled into one. 

I sometimes love playing tourist in my own city.
