Gateway of India, originally uploaded by Amar Raavi.

I have heard how vibrant, lively and fast-paced Bombay was, but never got a chance to visit the busiest city of India. Finally, i made up my mind to visit a friend of mine, Arun and stayed in the city for couple of days. It was mere luck that it didn’t rain the day we planned to drive around Bombay and visit couple of places. One among them was Gateway of India. Constructed in the year 1924, Gateway of India was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay in December 1911.

Oh man! Gateway of India is definitely one of the busiest monuments i ever saw. After going through the security checks (much needed these days), tried to take few photographs but the place was so busy that, i couldn’t get a decent picture with out people moving right in front of the camera. I was trying all crazy shots standing, sitting and sleeping on the floor. Don’t even think about setting up a tripod there. Either people will run over it or Police will run over you :-)

Thanks to the rain gods, this puddle saved my day. At least i could get one photograph worth posting here.
