If you're feeling energetic, a stroll down Marine Drive
is possibly the best way to discover Mumbai. This is a
windswept promenade, flanked by the sea and a row of art
deco buildings. Looped between the concrete jungle of
Nariman Point, Mumbai's Manhattan, and the leafy green
slopes of Malabar hill, Marine Drive was once called the
queen's Necklace, strung with glittering street lights
like an enormous strand of imperious jewels. It is also
one of Mumbai's busiest roads, an important artery for
the heavy suburban traffic heading downtown. Cars whiz
continually past the two mile stretch, past huddled lovers,
children and babies in perambulators. Like other seafronts,
this is where most of south Mumbai comes to breathe in
some fresh air.
