Discovering Bandra with Sheena.

Bandra to me was shop after shop after shop of glitter, glamour and heels - and then I met Sheena. Sheena had lived in this 'Queen of suburbs' for a few years, and a stroll around Bandra with Sheena and our cameras delivered a very different Bandra to me. In Ranwar Village, one of the surviving old villages of Bandra, we found quaint wooden homes and quieter pace of life. We stumbled upon the Basilica of Mount Mary, a stunning church, originally a chapel built in 1640, and rebuilt in 1761. It's Bandra’s most popular church, and believed to effect miraculous cures, and visited with great faith by Indians of all religions. But the most memorable part of our walk around Sheena's Bandra, were the laid back, smiley, friendly, welcoming people.... and the murals!
