So, out we go exploring the city yet again. Me and my friend Aarti decided why be part of the (now a too commercial festival) Kalaghoda Festival and decided to go to a quite corner of Mumbai to a Chinese Temple ( we believe this one is the only one in Mumbai)...So well this temple known as Kwan Tai Shek is located in a quite lane of Dockyard Road. You need to go asking for a Tank Road and ask anybody and they will help you find it. The preferred time of going to this place is in the morning around 8:30 when the temple is usually open. We went late afternoon and to our disappointment it was close. But we nevertheless when up the stairs and on the first floor of the building found an aunty who suprisingly decided to open the temple for us, and yes it was after a sweet and genuine request. The temple is on the second floor of the building and the brilliant red with golden linings kind of takes you to another time. The temple to dedicated to Lord Kuan Kung (will attach a picture).
It was a nice weekend. The lessons we both learnt > > > its important to do things on weekends (not shopping) but things close to your heart to keep your creative side and your heart alive in this highly useless competitive life.
Once I get time, Ill be back with more tales from Chinese Temple and We took a lot of pictures!!!!! For now a little glimpse.......
