Samundari City, a little history of Mumbai (as told by a wave)

Posted Aug 24 2008 1:27pm

SamundariCity We've received a new supply of the Mother Sequence books by Jehangir Palkhivala and they're available at the studio for $10 each. Also just in is a very limited supply of Samundari City , a children's book written by Jehangir's wife, Rashmi. The Palkhivalas reside in Mumbai , renamed Bombay by the Portuguese and changed back to Mumbai in 1995 (I learned that from the book) and Rashmi relays the city's history through the character of Samundari, a wave in the Arabian Sea.

Informative as it is entertaining, this book of over 150 pages is delightfully illustrated by Prakash Kurup . I think I'll use it as my guide/travel book when I make the trek to Mumbai...one day soon.
