Walking wonders

So I walked almost all over south Mumbai again :)...yes for the umpteenth time..
Well I LOVE walking !!!!
One of my recurring nightmares is about spending the rest of my life with a person who doesn't like walking and swears by all other means of transport :(
( well I don't mind a cool bike or a Bugatti Veyron..Huh! I wouldn't say no to them ! :PP)

I know Mumbai is not exactly the kind of place walking enthusiasts would recommend. But it was eleven in the night and I and my friends were coming back after watching Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na ( cute movie btw ...absofunkinglutely recommend it if you need some cheering or otherwise ).
It was cool and windy. Footpaths were not hawker-jammed and so we walked all the way from Sterling to the US Club and then slumped down to catch the warm sea breeze . :)
(NOTE: To best experience the moonlit sea walk check out the mile long section of highway NH 17 near Kundapuram, next to Maravanthe Beach to be precise . Breathtaking, out of this world experience!!!! )
