My pictures with their little stories

St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai It was during one of those not very defined walks in the area around Flora Fountain , that I discovered this almost 300 year old church. In fact, Churchgate station derives its name from this church. One of the gates in the fort which the East India Company had built to protect their settlement was the entrance to the St. Thomas Church. It was called Churchgate. That is the reason the entire area towards the west of the church is called “Churchgate” even today.

Inside St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai When I entered St. Thomas Cathedral , wondered as to how come I never noticed this beautiful cathedral so close to Flora Fountain . The cathedral is beautiful from inside with several statues and neatly lined up benches. The atmosphere was peaceful with visitors dropping in, spending time and quietly going away. Noticed a choir group practising in the front area.

Bombay House, Homi Modi Street, Mumbai A historic building which is the the seat of Tata group , one of the most respected names in business and industry in India. I was interviewed here many years ago for a job with TAS (Tata Administrative Services). I shot this picture 27 years after I last visited this building. Nothing much has changed though in this lane.
