Little Ben
July 19th 2008 15:00
One of the landmarks of Mumbai is the Rajabai Tower. Shaped like the Big Ben of England, this tower stands gloriously from the campus of The University of Mumbai. It is named after the mother of the architect Rajabai.
I don't know what Big Ben exactly does but this tower chimes every hour. Though during the busy day these chimes are not really audible unless you are standing under it or lying on the lawns of Mumbai Univ. to hear them. But on a silent night these chimes permeate the air and many times while passing by I have heard these chimes from quite afar. There is a spiral staircase that goes to the top however it is pretty damaged now so people are not allowed on it.
This area is called Fort. It is a posh area with many courts and art galleries in the vicinity. The Museum is also very closeby hence this area is frequented by tourists.
