De nuevo en Mumbai (para los despistados, Bombay), esperando que esta vez la visita sea menos accidentada. Dejo a Eva en Colaba y paso mis últimos días de viaje con mi amigo Aman en el barrio de Mahim. Ya me siento con mucha más soltura en esta ciudad que sin duda está llena de vida y tienes rincones muy agradables (no lo es tanto el tráfico en hora punta, jeje).

Así que básicamente los dos días en la ciudad se resumen en desayuno en Leopold con Eva, café que volvió al movimiento habitual después de los incidentes, pero que ha decidido guardar de recuerdo los agujeros de las balas en las paredes (vaya impresión, sobre todo al recordar aquella noche!); últimas compras y caprichos varios; visita a la isla de Elephanta y, como no, una película de las de Bollywood! He de reconocer que ya fui a una comedia con Aman la vez anterior, pero ahora Eva y yo vimos uno de esos musicales que ha hecho famoso el cine de la India (eso sí, moderno, pero sin besos) y en un cine de los clásicos, en Colaba. Momento curioso cuando, antes de comenzar la película, aparece la bandera de la India en pantalla, la gente se pone en pie, y suena el himno nacional... todavía no me ha quedado claro si es algo habitual o algo puntual por lo de los atentados.

Y disfrutar de la compañía de los locales: Wanda, la hermana de Hubert (mi jefe de Citi), súper maja, con la que cenamos una noche y nos dio buenos consejos sobre compras de calidad y, por supuesto, Aman, que, como siempre, tuvo cuidado de que mi comida no fuese demasiado picante... mil gracias a los dos por los buenos ratos y ayudarme a comprender mejor este país que a veces me parece de locos!

Y ya, a embarcar hacia Delhi, para el regreso... me dio pena abandonar esta ciudad, me gusta Mumbai!

By Pato

Again in Mumbai (for confused people, Bombay) hoping to have a less dangerous experience this time. I left Eva in Colaba and I spent my last days of my trip with my friend Aman in Mahim. Now I feel so comfortable in this city full of life and with quite nice places (not the traffic jam in rush hour, hehe).

What I did, basically: breakfast with Eva in Leopold, the famous café which was again full of people and with its usual movement after the attacks. But the bullet holes on the wall remain as a bitter souvenir of that night (what a strange feeling to see them and remember how lucky we were!). Shopping gifts and cheap things for us, a visit to Elephanta island and, of course, going to the movies to see a Bollywood film! I have to confess that I was already before with Aman watching a comedy. But this time Eva and I went to watch a musical (of course!) in a nice cinema (old one) in Colaba. Funny moment when everybody has to stand before the movie starts to see the flag on screen and hear (and sing) the national hymn! not sure yet if this is something usual or it is special because of what happenned here.


And of course enjoy the company of the local people! Wanda, Hubert's sister (Hubert was my boss in Citi), so nice girl we had dinner with (and she gave us good advice at shopping) and Aman, always taking care of my food (not too spicy, please ;)... thanks to both of you for the good moments and to help me to understand better a country, culture and people (sometimes I thought everything was so crazy here!).


And then fly to Delhi to go back home... sad to leave this lovely city, I love Mumbai!
