This was a residential colony for the management staff of Burmah Shell than later became BPCL after government nationalization of the refineries all over India. We had the privilege of watching many film crews shooting movies in our neighborhood!GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246246118041543095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-78860331047285522662011-07-30T12:24:19.940-05:002011-07-30T12:24:19.940-05:00Old Bollywood map--what a great idea.Old Bollywood map--what a great idea.2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/10905469142234190538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-31211716091671520332011-07-29T14:41:05.371-05:002011-07-29T14:41:05.371-05:00Dear Beth,

It is a phenomenon that appeals to aesthetes and pacifists, multiculturalists and movie afficionados. Brilliant work!! Shabaash!

I love that it is still there, I want to make a pilgrimage!<br /><br />BTW, I always thought that stairway is in the Taj hotel in Bombay. I could be wrong though.
