Formed in 1899-1900 from a vast agricultural land, the Dadar-Matunga-Wadala-Sion scheme created to decongest the plague afflicted south Bombay, Dadar was considered one of the first "planned suburb" of this city (And today, it is a place where we have to plan to get out alive) . Oodles of character and charm surround the heart of Khodadad Circle, also termed Dadar Terminus or Dadar TT. . Travel writer Gustasp Irani reveals that the two-storey buildings along this quadrant were erected by his grandfather Gustasp and his brother Rustom. "They requested the municipal commissioner to name the roundabout for their father Khodadad, my great-grandfather." .

Thank you to all of those who contributed to 'Let's Help Our Koli Community Amidst The COVID-19 Storm!' Ketto Campaign aimed at relief for the Koli Community of Mumbai. . Covid is still spreading rapidly within the community. The lockdown is still prevalent in villages which is making essential items inaccessible. Hence, we have restarted the Ketto campaign to raise funds for the Koli community. . All those who contributed before, the funds were utilised to provide food and groceries to 200 affected Koli families with the help of @thelastfishermanofbombay . We need your support once again. Sustaining community-based businesses is a challenge and the current scenario is a struggle for survival. Restarting the Ketto fund will help us get to more and more affected people within the community. .

Today is International Museum Day! . And here's our favourite one located in the heart of Mumbai Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum @bdlmuseum Being the oldest museum of Mumbai it was opened to the public in 1857. It is the erstwhile Victoria and Albert Museum, Bombay. It was the first colonial building to be built for the specific purpose of housing a museum. A little more than a hundred years later, on November 1, 1975, the Museum was renamed the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in honour of the man whose vision and dedication enabled its establishment. . Museums play a crucial role in our lives. They connect us to our past, help in preserving local culture, they display an alternative perspective on history, they define a city's character, inspire people and ideas and connect people from different backgrounds. Let's play our part in helping these beautiful places change lives for the better. .

It is a time to pray, help each other and have gratitude for all that Allah has blessed us with. . But this year Ramzan looks very different. Mosques that come alive with smiles, greetings and the whispers of devotees as they perform their namaz is all come to a pause. Here's a video that takes us through the Mosques of Mumbai, as they lie still...bereft of their devotees this Ramzan. . This is a time for us pause and see where we are at. The world needs to change. And maybe this time we will return to this Holy abode with a new found faith. .

We are back with our investigation headed by Director of Dictionaries for those words that are roaming around with multiple identities 🧐 . # Suspect 3 (Caught on Camera): Dawn (Last Seen at): Before the lockdown 😢 • 📖 Dawn (noun): 1. ’the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise.’ 2. ‘come into existence.’ 3. ‘become evident to the mind; be perceived or understood.’ . We are eagerly waiting for the crack of a new dawn! . . #nfpexplore #morningroutine #photooftheday #webstagram #bestoftheday #delhiscenes #delhi_gram #mumbai_diaries #travelgram #instagood #instamumbai #incredibleindia #instadaily #instago #like4like #all_shots_ #followme #travelbug #wanderlustwednesday #motivation #instacool #sunrise #covid_19 #skylovers
