The City of Dreams recently lost a crucial piece of history when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation(BMC) tore down the city’s most historic building. 

Only recently, the Times Of India published an article, where the BMC stated that the Bungalow was in a ruinous state and issued a notice to the owner of Ratan Kunj to vacate the Bungalow as it would collapse very soon. 

The Bungalow was known as the Shanti Niwas and it was the last remaining of the 7 Bungalows in Versova. These Bungalows were built by a Gujarati Patsi Family in the year 1898. The heir of the Family who was an Irani Lady, used to live here in the Bungalow in the year 2005. 

These bungalows were renowned because each of these bungalows was built by some of the most influential people in India during that time, which included Sorabjee Talati, Maharaja of Kutch, the Khambattas, Dadabhai Naoroji, Maharaja of Gwalior, the Chinais, and Rustom Masani. 

When the Talati Villa fell, the only existing piece of architectural history was the Shanti Niwas which was built by the Chinais. 

When BMC issued a notice, one of the co-owners of the Bungalow challenged BMC that the bungalow was in no imminent danger. It was also claimed that the notice was a part of the conspiracy to evict them from their own home because a local builder coveted the land and had intentions to redevelop the land.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
