“The Gateway of India, the art deco style Regal theatre, the cafes (Mondegar, Royal and Leopold), and the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower hotel, all add to the atmosphere. The older parts of the cantonment retains its large, wooded spaces and is the only bit of green left in this otherwise congested area. In the midst of Navy Nagar lies the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), one of India’s leading scientific institutions. Colaba is renowned for high-end boutiques, imitation consumer goods, and is popular with tourists. This is a place where rich Indian industrialists and business people prominently reside, for example the Ambanis and Ratan Tata. Colaba is the hippest neighbourhood in Mumbai serving as the major shopping district for both tourists and locals. It has an old English charm and a very modern feel as well. Colaba is also the art centre of Mumbai, with all the major galleries and museums located in and around this area.”

So you may live near Bush Senior in Houston but your friend apparently lives round the corner from Rajan Tata in the hippest neighborhood in one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
