Pictures from Mumbai

I'm sorry for all the crazy posting. There isn't much to do because my program hasn't officially started yet, and I don't really know when I'm going to get Internet after I leave Mehek's tomorrow.

It's actually hard to take pictures here. Most of the time I'm either walking around and shopping (and I don't want to snap pictures everywhere) or we're driving in the car. We drive everywhere. Places are far away and I get the feeling that it's not advisable to walk around in the streets (and it's much hotter than the car's AC). That said, I do have a couple of shots I took off the back patio yesterday morning, as well as some of the results of my shopping trip!

This is Mehek's living room, and the door to the back patio. Pictures are off of there.

High rises and concrete housing... it all goes together in this city.

A closer look at one of the concrete apartments. This isn't a great picture, but these houses are very different from anything that Mehek or her friends live in. There are blocks of these type apartments in different parts of the city.

Bamboo (?) scaffolding

This is one of the panels surrounding Mehek's door-- her mother is an artist and many of her original paintings hang around the house!

Ah! It's me! I bought the kurta, tights, and dupatta just yesterday (with help).

The shoes I picked out myself. OMG SHOE SHOPPING.... :)

  1. Hi KC, Thanks for the photos. Danny & I think Mumbai looks pretty interesting. Mehek's home is lovely & her mother's painting is wonderful. Danny was wondering if they have video games there.
    Love, Mom & Danny
