Marine drive is a beautiful place and I remember i must visit there as a newly married young girl, my impression of Mumbai was that which the Hindi cinema gives you - about 11 plus years ago coming from Hyderabad my idea of Mumbai was a place where one needs to be careful of their belongings/ purses as some one might snatch and run away. Marine drive for me was the place where all the smuggling / drugs came in the night at least that is what I thought and learned from the hindi movies ! I know it seems ridiculous and naive of me to think that way but that is what all Hindi movies showed happened when someone landed in Mumbai ! My hubby and his friends laughed and pulled my leg about it for many years. I realised in the time I was in Mumbai it was much safer and there was dignity of labour ! Everyone wanted to work and was busy doing something and respected and minded their own business.
