At The Taj, Mumbai

I was in Mumbai for a business visit yesterday, and as soon as we wrapped up the meeting in Worli, Harsha and I dashed over to Colaba for a much-awaited visit to the grand Taj. With the heritage wing having opened up to the public just 2 weeks back, this was the perfect time to soak in the wonderful hospitality and grandeur of the hotel. We got a chance to savour the high tea buffet, and experience first hand the absolutely delightful service of its staff.

We also roamed through the shopping arcade, checked out leather purses worth 1.5 lakh, and beautiful dresses for 90K.

And most importantly, personally, we sat in the Sea Lounge and looked out over the sea, with the Gateway of India out there to the left. A reverse of the very painful view we all endured for 4 days, seeing the rape and destruction of this beautiful monument representing the best India has to offer it's guests. I can't describe the feeling in words, guess you just have to experience it.
