Hardcover. Zustand: New. Colaba, the southernmost tip of Mumbaia bustling locality with the Gateway of India, the famous Taj Mahal Hotel, and Colaba Causeway, a shopper's paradiseis the city's most iconic neighbourhood. But barely 200 years ago, it was a rocky, jackal-infested island, separated from the rest of the great metropolis by a temperamental creek . In this compelling biography, Shabnam Minwalla, journalist, author and long-time resident of the area, tells the tale of the unexpected forces that reshaped land and sea; and allowed this remote corner of Bombay-Mumbai to evolve into one of its liveliest, quirkiest neighbourhoods. Trying to figure out the exact area limits, she unravels accounts of colonial rivalries and dowry negotiations, and of shrewd industrialists who transformed the doomed island into the centre of trade during the cotton boom of the 1860s. She navigates the sometimes charming, sometimes seedy streets to track the area's evolution from a retreat for British soldiers and sailors to a coveted residential area for the English and Indians alike. She digs into her childhood memories to introduce us to the eccentric Parsis of Cusrow Baug, the warm yet persistent shopkeepers and hawkers of the Causeway, the industrious Sindhis who pioneered co-operative housing societies, the colourful musicians, theatre artists and writers who frequented her corner of Colaba, and the Arabs who come there every year to witness the city's monsoons. And in a moving section, she records how the neighbourhood rose like a phoenix from the ashes after the 26/11 terrorist attack. Combining a remarkable flair for storytelling with sound journalistic groundwork, and drawing upon three generations of family memory, Shabnam paints an intimate and dynamic portrait of a great and fabled neighbourhood.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Colaba Nights is a love story etched in rain, chai, and everything left unsaid.Set in the monsoon-drenched alleys of Colaba, it follows Vaani-a quiet writer with a notebook full of unsaid truths-and Aakash, a brooding musician haunted by past mistakes. What begins with spilled chai and silence soon becomes a connection neither expected.But as love deepens, so do the cracks. When Reyan, a soft-spoken poet with no promises, enters their lives, Vaani must confront the ache of longing, choice, and closure.A tender, atmospheric novel about finding rhythm in a city that never pauses, Colaba Nights is a story of chai-stained memories, unfinished songs, missed messages, and a love that lingers-even after the last goodbye.
