Previously known as Bombay, Mumbai—aside from being the country's most populous city—was India's center of financial and commercial activities. Founded on an ancient settlement, its name was derived from the local goddess Mumba, a form of Parvati, the consort of Shiva and one of the main deities of Hinduism.

After our friends from Philippine Airlines, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and fellow travel bloggers/vloggers departed for Manila, the three of us—myself, Karla, and Coleen—extended our stay for a few more days. Doing so, we got to experience more of the city, including seeing it above the roof of a thirty-five-story building. How did we do it without breaking and entering? Let me take you back to a little flashback.
