| | The Hindu : Love, life, and bhel |
 | | Organising an anthology on a city like Mumbai is a bit like making the perfect bhelpuri not too hot, not too bland, just the right amount of onion, coriander, raw mango and most important, crisp kurmura. |
 | | Perhaps you have to be a lover of this crazy, madly frustrating, dirty, noisy, hot, energetic, beautiful, bhelpuri of a metropolis by the Arabian Sea to appreciate fully the essays in Bombay, meri jaan. |
 | | But even if you are a stranger to Mumbai, the book gives you an intelligent mix of the lived experience of contemporary Bombayites/ Mumbaikars and visitors to the city through the years. |
