I went for a wander today and took a few snaps of the grand but crumbling old buildings in our area. Mumbai is packed with these buildings - imposing and majestic old dames who are slowly losing the fight against monsoon rains, determined banyan tree roots and gravity.

one of the very first dates that K and i ever went on was a sunrise motorbike trip, to take photos around South Mumbai.

I am quite the book junkie.. and sometime have to forcibly extricate myself from bookshops before i max out my credit card on the massive pile I am struggling to carry. i especially love the fantastic wealth of great Indian authors that I am discovering since living here.

heath ledger was found dead in his room yesterday of apparent drug overdose.
out of all the crap actors we have in films at the moment, this guys seemed to have raw talent and guts.. along the same vein as his fellow Australian Russell Crowe. Instead now will he be more easily compared to the late River [...]

The photo, by the way, is [...]

in a bid to stop feeling so city claustrophobic, (and to shut me up from raving about how much I miss NZ beaches in the summer) K and i did a little exploration trip over to Awas/Kihim beaches on the weekend just past.
They are only an hour away by slow boat, or as little as [...]
