A Banyan Three plus One!
Panem et circenses!
Part I: Panem.
Part II: Circenses.
I have gone to this picturesque bakery with the WOODSIDE INN - Old Mumbai Bicycle Tour. Definitely a MUST-DO! Despite being here for over 4 years I have re-discovered South Bombay! And the food at the end of the tour is simply SCRUMPTIOUS and DELICIOUS!
Check www.woodsideinn.in for more info.

Bombay's architectural heritage?
Bombay's architectural Heritage is exceptionally rich. It blends Gothic, Victorian, Art Deco, Indo-Saracenic as well as contemporary architectural styles. Bombay, even has the second largest number of Art Deco buildings in the world, after Miami.
Sadly, too many of these amazing heritage buildings have fallen into disrepair. For instance, the Watson’s Hotel – India's oldest surviving cast iron building – got listed in 2005 on the list of "100 World Endangered Monuments" by the World Monuments Fund, a New York-based NGO
Regardless of the establishment of the Heritage Committee, which brings together architects, historians and citizens so as to preserve Bombay’s tradition architectural heritage, it seems that the Government's desire and resources attributed to the safeguard of its heritage very limited are. Sad.
Would you known of any interesting initiative (Private or Public) to preserve the city’s architectural heritage, please feel free to post a comment.
Cheers, Jérémie
PS: those shabby buildings do make great photographs.
