Nice! Well what company did you work for at the time? Local partner Nina Concrete eh? It looks like you and I have a bit in common, mate.

P.S: I hope you indulged in all the fun things that Bombay had to offer during your visit to the city 4 years ago.

Well.. We provided the corrosion inhibitor for the basement. Nina imported our product. I was there to do concrete mix designs at the local lab. More over I went to do numerous presentation on hydrophobic concrete as well as corrosion protection. I am civil engineer but have extensive experience with specialty products, admixtures, epoxies, CFRP, Flooring , structural repairs and so on. Worked in Sika and BASF in Pakistan and Bahrain and now in US almost like in same capacity. But now heading R&D and Engineering division.

Yes I liked the city and always felt like i m in Pakistan. I was staying at hotel . Dont recall the name near the TenDulkar restaurant I think

Right on! Good for you, mate.

There are a number of nice hotels in that area, but I'm guessing they put you up at the Gordon House Hotel.

Thanks, Marwan. Yeah, it's almost like every noteworthy place/building/institution in this city has been renamed after that Shivaji dude. It's pretty annoying to be honest.

He was a freedom fighter right...?

Getting closer to my destination - Cafe Universal...

Cafe Universal on Shaheed Bhagat Singh Road is one of Bombay's many Irani cafes specialising in Persian cuisine, and great beer, since 1921. Now I wish I'd taken photos of the beautiful mutton Dhansaak I had, but got distracted and attacked the dish rendering it non-photo-worthy...
