Did you watch the recent Bollywood movie - 102 Not Out? Well, this Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor starrer film is about a 102-year-old father (Amitabh Bachchan) who wants his 75-year-old grumpy son (Rishi Kapoor) to live a happy life. As a father, he is well aware as to what changes would make his son bounce back from life’s setbacks. So, he arranges a day trip for his son to visit those places of Mumbai that would rekindle his beautiful memories.
Take a look at the places:
Mount Mary Church
Recall the amazing week-long fair aka Bandra Fair that would be held here? From exciting toys to mouth-watering snacks to ice creams, this fair is a crowd-puller. The fair begins on the Sunday following 8th September, the Feast of the Nativity of Mother Mary. You’ll see devotees offering candles in the shape of various parts of the body like hands, feet etc to Mother Mary and praying for their wellbeing.
Marine Drive
If you’re a Mumbaikar or have visited Mumbai, we bet - you have experienced Marine Drive aka 'Queen's Necklace'! It’s an amazing feeling when the breeze caresses your hair while you enjoying the breathtaking sight of the Arabian Sea. Did we mention the sunset view? Well, it’s a picture-perfect moment, try it once - if you haven’t yet.
City Bakery
Have you ever visited the City Bakery? Located in Worli, this bakery offers a variety of biscuits, breads, snacks, cakes and pastries. Fresh, toothsome and that too at reasonable prices. They include Chocolate Brownie, Walnut Cake, Mango Mousse Cake, Vanilla Donut, Paneer Tikka Roll and lots more.
Aeroplane Garden
As kids, many of us have visited this unique garden, right? At that point in time, there was no bigger dream than sitting in an aeroplane and that too without booking any flight tickets. Nestled in Santacruz West, this garden is called Lions Juhu Children's Municipal Park. You’ll see kids playing in the park, people enjoying a leisure walk or sitting on the benches and taking in the fresh air.
