MINDLESS MUMBAI

for tourists and mumbaikars alike, the city’s fortifications remain quite unknown. along the western as well as the eastern coastlines, are remnants of mumbai’s forts. this pic is of the fort at sewri, in the midst of the warehouses, oil storage tanks, defunct factories, mud-flats and mangroves, having a magnificent view of the eastern water front.

the forts are now thankfully being given a makeover, under the Mumbai Fort Circuit plan of the MMRDA, and the plans for sewri fort include a flamingo observation centre.
