Visited Marine Drive at 5pm,
walking down from Church Gate station via Jai Hind College & Basant singh college for women (Sind Educationall Society) I reached a place opposite the building 'Jyoti Sadan'. Exactly ahead into Arabian Sea is the Malabar Hill jutting into the sea .
I sat on the wall, like many others, which is built where
the sea waves are breaking against the boulders down below. The sound of the waves is mild some times and roaring other times.
10 km from this point is the Mahim Bay and the VSNL, Prabhadevi and Telephone House points.
Nariman point can be seen clearly from here to the south.
High rise buildings of yellow and pink about twenty in number all similar in build, height and style lining the point west to east.
Marine Drive is not even a poor substitute for the Beach road of Marina in Madras.
In length width and grandeur Marina Drive is far more
enchanting than Marine Drive.
I broke the spectacles and spoiled the mood.
Also, the entire stretch of marine drive gets dating couples who display their romance very openly, and boldly.
While the onlookers are eager but embarrassed to watch, the players themselves do not seem to have any bothers. They indulge in show-off care-free.
