Bombay vacation 2009 Part 2
so the next day we headed to Vashi
and that involves
crossing the bridge to vashi as bombay is an island
yellow tyres means a garage nearby
and we bought some samosa and vada
crossed a vegetable market
and some more
how often do you find a dog on a BLUE cart
but again this is india so…one can expect colors like these
the next day sis fell ill
did some house cleaning
mom watching life go by on the street below
later in the evening i caught up with suri, bhushan and his wife…its quite strange to see my friends getting married…its quite surreal
after some cofee bushan and shereen headed home
while suri and i walked around the colony
mom playing sudoku
loo
bathroom
dad doing some financial stuff
while mom prepares lunch
and gives me some tips
olve arrived from Oslo and i took him to my school
the yellows looked nice
but the chapel looks like some kid painted it
religion is seen everywhere…and not just Hinduism…
went to gorai beach…
luckily it did not rain
and we got some good lighting
love beaches…with palm trees
some kids were playing cricket
on our way back home we stopped at the Global Vipassana Pagoda
**The center of the Global Vipassana Pagoda contains the world’s largest stone dome built without any supporting pillars. The height of the dome is approximately 29 metres, while the height of the building is 96.12 meters, which is twice the size of the previously largest hollow stone monument in the world, the Gol Gumbaz Dome in Bijapur, India.**
when completed it will look like this…
