BOMBAY 

The traffic is overwhelming, the heat all-encompassing, the sounds enveloping. We have arrived, embraced by Bombay’s golden glow. From the hustle and bustle of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station, the city’s main lifeline, we make our way to what can only be considered the true heart of Bombay: its cricket maidans. The large open fields are heralded in a city that’s increasingly struggling for space; they are home to the country’s number one sport and open to everyone. They’re an equalizer and a place where dreams come true.
