Visited the Siddhivinayak Temple in Prabhadevi today. This was something like the Sri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple visit to Tirupati. The Lord beckoned and I really wanted to go too. Things happened automatically thereafter. Me woke up before day-break and Mansukh, Nike and I caught up at Dadar Station. The famed temple was a short taxi ride away.

The place is usually thronged with devotees and Mansukh's idea of us being present at 0730hrs at the Temple Gates worked well. Darshan was over within minutes and I moved around the premises admiring the place.

Later, we headed to Modakam - a small restaurant near the Temple itself. Its been recently renovated and the proprietor chose to adorn the place with gorgeous stained glass artwork of the Elephant-God ! The place looked marvellous. Modakam, apparently, is the prasad offered to the deity.

We headed to Worli seaface after that. It was a short bus-ride away. I have lived in Mumbai previously but never been to that part of town. Liked every bit of what I saw. The wharf is mostly clean, and the crashing waves tend to splash all over the paved stonewalk. Some kids were really having a blast. I've reached a stage that I can tolerate any amount of rainwater on me but not the salty seawater.
