| On the
fringes of what was once the walled Fort of Mumbai,
stands the High Court, another hauntingly beautiful (some
say haunted!) structure, in brooding black stone.
Opposite it lies the Oval Maidan, formerly a large
Bowling Green where English memsahibs came to "take
in the air." Today, it is an important lung in a
congested city, where aspiring young cricketers practice
their paces under the watchful eye of the High Court and
the Mumbai University. |
