I was nominated by my blogging friend, Robbie from robbiesinspiration wordpress.com to post one or more favourite travel pictures a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel pictures and 10 nominations. I would like to nominate Radhika from radhikasreflection.com to take up this challenge. Thanks a lot dear Robbie.
SOME OF THE IMPORTANT PLACES OF MUMBAI, AN ISLAND CITY (A PART OF INDIA). A pet name for our Mumbai city is also known as AMCHI (MEANS OUR) MUMBAI:
Since I live in Mumbai city which is bustling each and everyday with lots of activities there are some of the beautiful architectural monuments built by the British who ruled over the Indian subcontinent from 1858. Few of the pictures are show-cased below:
The Gateway of India:
The Victoria Terminus:
The Marine-Drive Promenade:
The Bandra-Worli Sea Link:
Nostalgia. I worked close to the gateway of india next to the Cathedral and so could go for church services during lunch break !

Thank you so much Diana for your kind words. We had British Raj in India and all these monuments were their architectural marvels for our Mumbai city. The promenade is yet called as the Queen’s Necklace and it is near to my house. We usually go for morning and evening walks. Will surely send you more Diana. Love and light to you dear friend.

Thank you so much dear Annika for your wonderful feedback. The British Raj that ruled India really built monumental splendors for us. Bandra-Worli sea link has come up just five years back and it is also one of our great architecture and saves so much time for the traffic and it is very beautiful. We can see the full stretch of the sea too. For sure dear will do so. Much love and light to you.
