The bastion of Maharashtrian Hindus, Girgaum, near Chowpatty,
is the heart of middle class Mumbai Here, tiny little
gullies wander off the main road into the belly of the
city. One of them is Khotachi Wadi, a charming little
village, uninvaded by traffic. This nineteenth century
settlement actually belongs to Mumbai's East Indian Christians
whose forefathers are believed to have worked for the
British East India Company. Most of them are a mix of
Portuguese and Indian origin, and the quaint old houses
with their trellised balconies and latticed windows look
like a forgotten pocket of Portugal.
