Bombay's Victoria Memorial School for the Blind, Tardeo, is holding a small exhibition-cum-sale of at the 24x7 Standard Chartered Bank on Breach Candy Road, near Moksh. All displays have been made by the kids, and some of them are totally unbelievable. Especially the macrame-based jute bags and clay Ganeshas'. Very honestly, I am positive that a whole lot of us could not have made this kind of stuff even with all our faculties intact. The exhibition is definitely worth at least a visit.

On a more somber note...went to Marine Drive late last night to find that the place is being very tightly patrolled and parking is not allowed on the boulevard any longer as two bodies were found there last week. You can just sit on the embankment latest till 12 in the night.

Growing up in Delhi, we always heard how safe a city Bombay was...no kidnappings, murders, robberies or all those horrifying things that kept us on the edge in Delhi at all times. Bombay only had its gang wars, which anyway did not affect the general populace, so nobody except Bollywood gave them a second thought. Times are changing it seems, and if places like Marine Drive are going to become shady and suspect, I think that's a great loss for this beautiful, wonderful city!
