Bandra - Land’s End

Wednesday last, we went on an evening outing to Bandra. We decided to experiment with the air-conditioned bus service. There are two such bus routes: A1 and A2. We boarded the A2 route. We alighted near Bandra Station and caught an auto-rickshaw to Land’s End — one border of Bandra. It’s called Land’s End simply because the land ends and the sea begins.

Mumbai is a place where people seem to have everything except privacy and time. Land’s End is the perfect place to observe the first, i.e., a lack of privacy — especially for young couples. You get to witness scenes that defy your imagination. You look around and find couples in all kinds of positions — amazingly blissful to the surrounding environment. A few of these young couples are so well hidden that it’s frighteningly easy to stumble upon them, simply because you never saw through the camouflage.

For a Bangalorean — no matter how open-minded — it’s an electrifying sight!
