Still in Mumbai mode...Some random thoughts and learnings from the trip:
1. Tunnels can be very boring - especially when you spend around 15 minutes travelling inside them, as is the case with the Konkan Railway route. Thoughts of the Naples Black Market Express inevitably come to mind.
2. The taxi drivers in Mumbai are more honest than their counterparts down South. They charge you the exact fare in the card.
3. Apartments in Mumbai are never re-painted.
4. If you like something you see, click a photo! Else, you might regret it later (you can delete it later if it doesn't look good). I missed clicking the 'Photo of the Trip' at Haji Ali, and I regret it!
5. Never order a Dosa in Mumbai.
6. For all its hype, avoid Leopold Cafe!
7. And for all its hype, the Colaba Causeway has some great and cheap food joints - try "The Food Inn". It is small but good.
8. Biryanis on trains have a strange habit of changing appearance and taste, depending on the time of the day they are ordered.
9. How much ever people try to pull you down, it's never too late to enjoy your life. After all, there is a child inside everyone.

The taxi and even the auto drivers are v sweet. You tell them the place after u sit in the cab, unlike pleading the counterparts down south..
Apartments in Mumbai are very expensive. Thats why...prolly...
I liked the Dosa in Mumbai...
Come on!
But if u r in Mumbai..the chaats..the ragda..and the street food is wht u shud b trying!
I have invariably missed visiting Leopold inspite of the hype. Read Shantaram and prolly u'll visit it again. :)
Lastly, people pull us down everyday... but then we rise and we fall and we rise!
