We've received a new supply of the Mother Sequence books by Jehangir Palkhivala and they're available at the studio for $10 each. Also just in is a very limited supply of Samundari City, a children's book written by Jehangir's wife, Rashmi. The Palkhivalas reside in Mumbai, renamed Bombay by the Portuguese and changed back to Mumbai in 1995 (I learned that from the book) and Rashmi relays the city's history through the character of Samundari, a wave in the Arabian Sea.
Informative as it is entertaining, this book of over 150 pages is delightfully illustrated by Prakash Kurup. I think I'll use it as my guide/travel book when I make the trek to Mumbai...one day soon.
