Featured review
Bombay
There are two things you can take away from Clive's trip to Bombay.
He was sweating a lot and the poverty is everywhere.
These days the city is called Mumbai as it discarded many signs of its colonial past. When Clive visited the shackles of economic regulation had been lifted in the early 90s.
India had been a closed semi socialist country since it gained independence from Britain. It was done so India would develop its own industries and products and not rely on foreign imports so much.
As Clive noted the barbers and dentists on the street were now making money that they can keep. Although they only had to pay 4 people off instead of 8.
Clive took a trip to Bollywood and played an extra in a movie. I am not sure he made it to the final cut. He talked to the stuntman on the movie who complained that Bollywood was not to keen on health and safety. He was expected to crash through real glass.
Clive admired the buildings that date back to the British Raj. The train station, the Gateway of India. He played cricket, also introduced by the British. Clive attended a wedding where he noted that the groom looked anesthetised.
Bombay was busy bustling and booming when Clive visited but he could never shake off the stench of poverty.
