My 3 days trip to Mumbai & Thanks to all who supported my visit (from 1 to 3 Feb) - TravellerG.

Hi LG Friends,

Greetings to all who attended the “Creator Conversations”, the offline meet-up organised by the Google Mumbai office (on 1st Feb) for 30 and odd invited LGs. (shall write the details separately)

I was very lucky to have met many LGs who are very close to my heart but have not yet met physically.

First I met our Isha**, who gave excellent company during the meetup, along with our dear** Naresh Darji, Tejal, Ajit Thitte, RosyKohli, Shrutika M, Falguni P, Rohan, Pratik Tanna, Anshuk Mitra, Raju Royal, Smita Patil, Mayuri Kubal, Sunny, Sanjay Thampy & many others.

Surely I lack words to express my sincere gratitude to each one of you; kindly accept thanks from the bottom of my heart.

After the Google meet-up, some of our LG friends decided to visit Bandra Beach. We spent some good time, along with Falguni hosting our dinner - yummy - thus the 1st Feb ended with a lot of enjoyment.

On the 2nd morning, along with Shruti M, we started our “Explore Mumbai” mission. We might have physically visited (or seen from the taxi/bus) multiple destinations, which ended with the sunset at Bandra Fort.

We (me & Shruti) planned to visit “Pagoda” on the 3rd morning. This was another nice experience because the trip included a ferry, a local bus drive, a rickshaw drive and a lot of enjoyment at the Pagoda.

The last stretch had a Metro travel; we planned to have a late lunch - along with Falguni, we reached Vrindavan (Veg) Restaurant where our respected Rosy Ji was waiting for us - wow, excellent session!!!

We had our food and departed to the airport; Shruti saw me off to the airport.

I sincerely thank each one of you once again, especially Shruti M, Rosy Ji & Falguni for your valuable companionship; the dedication with which Shruti M guided me on the 2nd & 3rd was amazing - hats off to her.

Almighty bless all.

What an amazing write up. It feels good to see some Mumbai write up from you. Really appreciate your efforts! @TravellerG

Very well written and I am sure you had a great time with @Shrut19 and others.

Can I request you to make a small change in photo caption 6? The place you visited is Gateway of India. I guess India Gate is used for the one in Delhi.

Once again thanks for your post and the mention.

Ciao @TravellerG felice di leggere di questa bella esperienza che hai vissuto con tutti gli altri amici LG.

Suppongo che questo sia solo un post introduttivo per celebrare questo vostro incontro e quindi spero che seguiranno altri post dettagliati in cui ci racconterai le bellezze che si trovano all’interno di quegli splendidi edifici che hai citato in questo post. Sono veramente curiosa di scoprire quali tesori custodiscono quella splendida libreria, il Taraporewala Aquarium e la Pagoda. Lo sai che adoro scoprire i posti che non conosco attraverso i racconti di chi invece ha avuto la fortuna di visitarli. :slightly_smiling_face: Le foto ovviamente sono tutte bellissime ma la mia preferita questa volta non ritrae un oggetto ma tanti bei volti sorridenti: la foto numero 2,

un’immagine che trasmette gioia :clap: :pray: Un caro saluto a tutti

Hola @TravellerG muy buena publicación. Es increíble lo que logra la Comunidad toda de LG’s, estos encuentros presenciales son una herramienta fabulosa para crecer como seres humanos.

Bendigo también, como tú, a todos los que de una u otra forma hicieron esta reunión realidad.

Gracias por compartirlo.

Las fotografías están estupendas todas, pero me encantó la de la Pagoda, no sé, si por el brillo, el color o el ángulo de la toma, pero se ve genial.

Saludos desde Uruguay :uruguay: :uruguay: :uruguay:
