Rocky Dadar Beach

It is difficult for me to imaagine now that this was the very beach I played on as a child. It had a vast expanse of smooth brown sand and we used to sit here for hours making sand castles and playing on the beach. My aunt has a house on the beach front, still has. But this is what Dadar beach looks like now. Reclamation in South Mumbai is said to have caused this sad situation. Sad for the residents of this stretch as their view and space is gone. Long walks, and gazing in silence at the sunset are relic past-times. Citizens pay the price for the greed of commercial interests.
