Beginning tomorrow I will be passing time again, but not in watching the Juhu sunset and the beach below from the hotel window, but in searching for something to occupy me in the weeks of solitude. This time my project is to redo and finish the cad drawing of the church, this one will really keep me bored by being busy and using my now almost stagnant brain for few weeks. Still nothing beats a constructive, intelligent company to converse and deal with. And it is not sunset yet, the sun has just risen up. Have to have my own way.

This was the hotel we stayed in Mumbai in 2006. Situated on Juhu beach, this was taken one afternoon along the shore where thousands of Indian passed their time. A silhouette of the hotel gave obscure view of the building painting.

Juhu beach, an indispensable part of the city of Mumbai, is one of the largest and frequently visited beaches in India on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Not exactly an ideal place for a quiet swim and a sunbath, the beach has a charm of its own, attracting legions of Mumbaikars every day.

How to get there:
Juhu is 20-25km north of the city centre; by air, it is not far from Mumbai airport, and which is also well connected by rail and roads, 15 Kms From Dadar Bus Stand.

In one of my afternoon strolls on the beach. One of those days on my strolling on the beach, I was just walking around for exercise and to get air. It somehow came out okay though. I enjoyed my place there.

On my second day in India I went down from the hotel to the beach that was just next to it. Hubby was at work so I was alone and I treasured the moment. You must have known that India follows China in numbers of its population, right? In 2006, there were more than 1 billion people in India, and most of it is packed in Mumbai or Bombay. In Juhu area where we were at, I would see thousands of people on this beach every afternoon. It was kind of fun though for me, for if there will be no people going there just to stroll around, it would be a lonely beach, since I just observe only one man swimming there. This was early yet so there were not much people lazing around.
