The Tempest Face of the Sea
Just the other day, I mentioned the calm face of the sea. Today, let me show you the other side, which is why I call its relationship with Mumbai city strange.

A Quiet Frame of a Bustling City

And despite the brown sand, the blue skies and the water that offers a different hue of blue, that is hardly the mood you leave in; it is probably one of the places that lifts your spirits like…
