Yesterday, I went to visit my in-laws. They live in Prabhadevi in central Mumbai, so I caught the train to Dadar station.

The station is a chaotic but fascinating place. In front of it is a huge flower market. The vendors sell such eye-catching and sweet smelling flowers.

Lots of other small stalls can also be found in the area, such as this shoe seller.

The street where my in-laws live is just as interesting. Known as “Phul Galli” (flower lane), it’s located right next to Shivaji Park, behind the famous Siddhivinayak Temple.

Every day, the street turns into a colourful carnival of flower sellers, snack stalls, and sadhus who do business with devotees coming to visit the temple.

I love sitting at the window in of my in-laws fourth floor apartment, which overlooks the street, and watching it all. The scene is constantly changing. I could sit there for hours and not be bored!
