More - a city of ‘More’. There must be a better word but I can’t think at the moment. Overwhelmed by noise, colour, people, sights, sounds, smells. It’s as if one’s senses have been shaken -Lue lisää

Loved your watercolour of the trad tower. If you’re now in central Mumbai would you photo any striking new developments - please! x [Terry]
