love the art deco buildings of downtown Bombay. this another cool pics page.

Thanks! Same here, mate. Besides having a large concentration of Art Deco buildings downtown, the city has a decent number of such clusters in central, west-central, and even east-central Bombay.

I checked out this new place in a Bandra bylane called 'Between Breads'. A fresh hotel management graduate started this little C&C (cheap and cheerful :D) eatery a couple months ago, and they've been doing really well owing to consistently friendly service, and great quality ingredients and produce. I had their classic tenderloin burger with fries...

Limited choice for the vegetarians. Hell yeah!

The burger had no mayo dripping off its side, and only a tad bit of mustard. Thumbs up...

I don't think I've ever posted photos of Dadar East (a residential neighbourhood in central Bombay) before, so here goes. The late Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Balsara), lead vocalist of the band 'Queen', was born and raised in this neighbourhood...

do u ever came across 92 95 honda civic in india? the Eg8 ferio or eg6

Bombaywalla (Bombaywalla) 2013-05-20 12:07:22 +0500 #1439

There are a few examples of '92/'95 JDM Civics strewn across the city and indeed the rest of the country, but perhaps not as many as there are in Pakistan. Indian import policies for automobiles were even more regressive back in the day, and it was only around 1998 or thereabouts when Honda officially entered the Indian market.
