I am soo happy to have finished my Illustrated map of Mumbai bang on time. Phew!
It feels good since I managed it through a considerably busy week (and the extension of the deadline by the organizers also helped :oD)!
(please view it on the TDAT website here.)
Mumbai is one of the most addictive places I have ever lived in.Therefore it had to be my choice of place to be illustrated for this task.
A walk down the memory lane and lot of awesome suggestions from friends still living there helped me prepare a long list of things which could make its way into the map.
But since it was a 'YOU-topia' map, I had to funnel all the options to the 'most' favourite.
And oh boy, what a difficult task it was to do just that, since Mumbai has an infinite number of places to visit and things to do, to fit into one map. Maybe I should consider doing mumbai 'zonal' maps sometime...
The top 10 Star Attractions of My Map include:
1. A walk from from VT station to Crawford Market (I am a sucker for Victorian Era Architecture) and I have done this a zillion times -never tire of it!
2.Shop-Shop-Shop at Colaba Causeway. After every trip to Mumbai, I become the proud owner of the handcrafted Kohlapuri footwear in all colours (they are so damn inexpensive that I can buy loads of them).
3.Chowpatty Beach Street Food and the Chilli flavoured Icecream !!!
4. Vada Pav and Masala Tea -official Mumbai Snack
5.Leather Stuff (boots- I love footwear) from Dharavi.
6. Fabindia, Mumbai (although they have outlets all around India, but I think Mumbai one has the best collection)
7. Sharing Hookah with friends at MOCHA
8. Horse Cart Ride or just even a walk along the Marine Drive is the Best!
9. Bade Miyan and its Chicken Rolls.
10. Finally relax and unwind by the sea with a cup of cappuchino at Banstand.
