Mumbai-Bombay is coiled up in the Arabian Sea. Its luxuriant palm trees swaying in the wind seem to beat time with countless and tiresome orchestras of crows. The city of 13 million people, as it needs more space, reclaims the sea shoring up the coastline with sand and earth. So poor and yet so rich, the megalopolis hold within itself a plurality of worlds and times. It is by excellence the supreme harbour of duality.
