We stayed at the Motiwala's home in Mumbai on Sunday. Beyond Royal treatment is one way to describe our stay. Batul aunty had cooked up a storm, in advance of our arrival. All excellent stuff, biryani, chicken samosas, spicy pomfret, alu chat and her trade-mark Eid sheer-korma. Their home is also very nicely and tastefully done. Dr. FEM made sure my Dad was provided with beer and whisky, and kept us all amused with his talks. For our bus ride to Shirdi, aunty woked up at 5 AM and prepared breakfast for our bus ride. A memorable visit indeed. I also met Q's uncle and Salma at their home, and various Veena-Beena residents while taking a walk in the building.
In Mumbai, we also visited Prasana's parents in Wadala and Aparna's parents in Shivaji Park. Both the visits were very nice and they were happy to see me in India.
The traffic in Mumbai seems to be more organized than in Delhi. Further, the cabs all run on meter which is completely unlike Delhi. We took a Volvo bus to Shirdi from Bandra east. Nice bus, it was on time with minimal stops.
