My changing skyline.

It’s a week into the new year and even though I’ve been back for a month now, it was only yesterday that I found time to look out of my balcony and observe the skyline – my favourite past time.

However, I was aghast to find the gorgeous Imperial Towers that reached out to the sky, dwarfed and even hidden by a new monstrosity that is still climbing higher!

What was worse was the tiny little bungalow that I used to look down on, growing into another tower that will soon spoil my unsullied view of the Queen’s Necklace.

However, all things change and thirty years is a long time for things to remain static.

I remember when I first saw this view, I could look out to the Karnala Bird Sanctuary. This funny shaped mountain that I could see in the distance is a little known natural bird park near Mumbai.  On a clear day ( which is another rarity these days) I could see the shoreline of Mandwa and Alibag  hugging the mainland.

With the rampant and unregulated construction going on, it won’t be long before I will be only see a peep of sky from my balcony. I hope I’m wrong because I do enjoy watching the world go by from my little perch up in the sky.

Do join me and other bloggers from around the world who share their skies on #SkywatchFriday

Happy Weekend all!
