Thanks to the tremendous response from inquisitive minds across the globe, we are moving this page to a full-fledged site http://wheretogoindia.com/ The value-added, voluminous content is now bursting at the seams of this poor blog. Hate to leave this space but the shift is inevitable. For any queries, contact pariraikar@gmail.com
Today's Times of India carries a piece titled Mumbai - The Unknown by Nergish Sunavala & Ram on vintage statues of the colonial era that were dispatched to Mumbai's Bhau Daji Lad Museum . A rather sweet coincidence that their title and contents match those of this blog post. Given the falling standards of journalism in India, the coincidence seems suspect but we still give them the benefit of doubt. My dad would have done the same had he been around.
