The day was spent sightseeing. Gaurav Sangtani aka Santa drove me around Bandra and Linking road (links it to Khar). More than anything else, i ate. I ate a lot. I had a samosa (smaller than the Pakistani ones, frankies (like a paratha roll), sevpuri which are excruciatingly tasty and a street side sandwich with all the trimmings. It was great, i was stuffed, so we had some Thumbsup and did some shopping.

Prices were very similar to here in Pakistan, i bought some shoes from Metro, very affordable, i think i needed them for the upcoming Malaysia trip and i used them extensively during the wedding as well. We drove around some more. I saw Shah Rukh Khan's house, Salman Khan's house and the under construction Abhishek Bachan house. All pretty mediocre considering thier incomes but they had nice and views and apparently the land costs in most parts of Mumbai are appalingly high.

In the evening, Mr ManMohan had thrown a surprise party. It was only the close family and it was absolutely rocking. Had an awesome time. At one point, Mr Manmohan had the music stopped to make an announcement, he got everybody's attention and then introduced me expecially the fact that i had come all the way from Pakistan. A fact, that far earlier, had reached everyones ear and over the next few days, they made sure they had a chat with me and welcomed, and thanked me for attending. It was both flattering and heart warming. Nice memories! =)
