Sunset in Bombay

Just a few beautiful impressions from the sunset half an hour ago in my favourite Indian city Bombay.

Whenever I am in Bombay, my choice of hotel depends where I have to do business as travel through traffic can be a 2 hours mid-size tragedy. So when I stay in South of Mumbai, I usually book the Taj Mahal Hotel directly at the Gateway of India, my favourite one in the Juhu-Beach area is the Sun ‘n Sands. The saga goes that Bollywood stars used to book them into this hotel, less with their wives and more with their mistresses …

One of the cultural specialties one has to get used to in India is to be stared at by Indian men. I got stared from the beachside, but this time I retaliated with my camera. And I would like to emphasize that they are not posing for the picture. This is how it looks when they stare.

Ah, ever cared to see Indian men holding hands when walking in the streets? Here we are for this little episode …

Have a great Sunday.

    Rene,
    I, too, get stared at a lot while I’m in Bangalore and Madras. Espeically when I’m in the car. I, too, use my camera (phone or digital) to capture the faces of my “admirers” :) Sometimes I make a game of it!
