Fort area in south of Bombay, now Mumbai, lays out an array of Victorian Architectural examples building after building. A legacy from our colonial history, its a good anti-thesis to all that this city has grown to stand for over the years. Much like your average Bombayite, yours truly, had no clue about the history or the reasons-to-be of this building, apart from the knowledge that it was recently restored by the KalaGhoda Association. But devotion to eyecandy and a flickr induced photography obsession made sure I captured Elphinston College and wrote about it here.






"The rich library of the college has a collection of over one lakh books, journals and periodicals. Its range is vast - from some of the oldest and rarest books in the country to the latest and the contemporary."
A passage which is sealed off so that it doesn't become thoroughfare.
The details- which make all the reasons-to-be secondary.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
