    After the events of 2008, it is probably surprising that I should choose to return to Mumbai. I will attempt to explain the reasons for my return and describe my experiences during the 8 days I spent there. In this way I can share the story with my family and friends.

    The phoenix is a mythical bird, believed to have a life-span of 500 years. When it nears the end of its long life, it builds a nest, sits in it, and then self-ignites, enacting what seems like a spontaneous combustion. Both the phoenix and its nest go up in a blaze of glory, and are reduced to ashes. From these ashes, a young phoenix is born, to live again for another 500 years. The young phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg and flies with it to the Egyptian city of Heliopolis - the ‘sun-city’, where it deposits the same. The phoenix is considered an emanation of sunlight. It is a symbol of immortality through resurrection. The end is the beginning.

When someone I haven’t seen in a long time asks with concern, “How are you?” I have to pause and ask myself why the concern…..Oh yes….Mumbai!
