By I am all about the beach. The time I get to spend in the sun is precious. I love the way that the ocean looks and feels. I find that it warms me up, calms me down, and gives my body a sense of well-being that keeps me from feeling the stress of everyday life.
Mumbai, like any big city, has an abundance of beaches, but there are also large swaths of coastline that are considered to be “poor,” meaning very low in quality. The poor beaches are ones that are very, very dirty. They are full of trash, sand, dead trees, and dead fish. These beaches are usually run-down and in desperate need of cleaning.
The beachfront is a great place to put a few kids in your house, but this is the worst part. You have to look out for your kids (and probably your pets), and the kids and their parents are usually not there. If you don’t want to, don’t go looking, and don’t let them in your house if you can’t find them.
Yes, there are a number of areas in mumbai where the kids will be more likely to go, but the beach especially is not one of them. In fact, the first time I saw the word “beach” in a sentence, I went, “Where did they get that idea? It’s a beach! It’s a beach!” For the record, I went in the opposite direction.
The reason why I decided to go back to the beach was because I liked it better, it was close to a little more clean, and I found it more interesting. The beach was beautiful, and I took my time to enjoy it. It was so nice that I didn’t even think I should go back to the beach anymore either, as it was clear that I had spent the entire time looking outside for the kids, and I was a bad loser in the end.
I know this is a bit of a tangent, but the only thing that you can do when you get to the beach is to stay there until your kids come back. That’s it. It’s a beach. It’s not a place you go to get away from yourself. It’s a place you go to get away from your problems and your self-loathing. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. Get away from the beach.
Thats exactly what we did, and it worked. Once we got to the beach we stayed there, but it worked just as well to stay there until the kids came back.
I’ve been walking towards the ocean for hours on end these past couple days, and it was really just the same thing every single day: the sun was too strong, my feet were killing me, and I just didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want to run away from myself, I didn’t want to sit down and forget about myself, I just wanted to walk to the beach. But the beach is just one of the many things you can do when you’re on a beach.
One of the things that makes Mumbai a great beach city is that you can literally swim in it. I mean, you can swim in the sea, you can jump off the rooftop, you can climb onto the rooftop, you can do everything you can do in the sea. The only thing that you can’t do on a beach is actually swim, but if youre really lucky you can get sand.
That said, swimming in the sea is not as easy as it looks. A lot of the beaches in Mumbai are not designed for swimming, but it’s really easy to get sand on your toes if you look for it. We were lucky to find sand at the beach which was really beautiful.
