This is my one of the most searched and viewed photo which I have posted on flickr. I shot this from Taj Landend when the bridge was under construction still. The day the bridge got inaugurated I had 3000 plus views since people where keen to see this bridge . I have not been to Mumbai since its opening . Next time I go to Mumbai I will surely have a few photos taken of this magnificent engineering marvel we have in India .

Hope the decongetion had really happened post its inauguration .

Shot this view in Mumbai during my visit on there on 30th Jan 2009. I always like Mumbai skies from a photography point of view as the clouds always create beautiful shapes and art of their own. Some of my best sky shots have been taken in this lovely city.

Its been a while I have gone to Mumbai. I think since I left Mumbai in June 2007 the last I had been there was October 2007. A lot has changed and I was surprised to see progress in some of the mill lands .

In a few years the whole Lower parel area is going to be unrecognizible . Another structure I have been following up on progress has been the much awaited Bandra Worli Sealink.

Here is is the latest photo as of May 2008 on what the progress is . Hope next time I go to Mumbai I see the working link .
