View from Our Window: Mumbai


It's the end of the monsoon season so it's hazy, hot, and very humid but the view of the Queen's Necklace and the Arabian Sea is beautiful.

We're in one of the two hotels that were attacked by terrorists last November but given the beefed-up security (it feels more like an airport/military base) I think we're in one of the safest places in this city of 17 million folks.

More to come on Parsis, the caste system, the connection between the U.S. Civil War and the growth of Mumbai, and my favorite, Indian food.
