Marine Drive is a skillfully laid-out boulevard in South Mumbai. It is actually an upturned 'C'-shaped six lane concrete road, which lengthens to 3 km along the coastline - a natural bay. This avenue connects Nariman Point with Malabar Hills. Situated over domesticated land, facing west-south-west, its coastline forms the part of the Arabian Sea. What draws attention to this avenue is the striking esplanade next to the road. Palm trees are lined up along the road, presenting a picturesque view and nice walkway to take a stroll. At nights, Marine Drive looks stunning illuminated, with lights and if seen from some elevated point beside the road, it appears like a necklace with street lights resembling a string of pearls. Attributable to its extravagant loveliness, it is also known as Queen's Necklace.Come here in any season, any time of day, you will find this place evergreen, energetic. Come for the morning walk, inhale fresh air and enthusiasm for a day. Come in the afternoon, enjoy the wind. See sun rays kissing water and water shining. Come in the evening, take a walk for a while, cool wind will sooth your whole body, headphones in ears, beauties passing by will please your eyes, legs will surely not complaint and you will even not come to know that yours day's tension, boredom has vanished. Come in the late night by bike and do zoooooooooooom over the road.
One day if you have plenty of time then come fursatse in the evening. Lay down on back on one of the rocks. Sun will be on its return journey. Observe the twilight. Enormous shades of colors will be there on the horizon. Gradually darkness will spread all over the atmosphere. At the same time thousands of lights will be illuminating around. Look on top, stars will be blinking showing their faces. Combination of man-made and natural light spots will delight you. Around you will be cool breeze and tides hugging the rocks making melodious notes. Sunset here will surely loose your senses out of joy.Come here in rainy season. Thousands of water rays will be falling on you, get showered. Those who are afraid of getting wet (poor fellows), be with your umbrellas, raincoats and watch dance of water rays.

Positive energy here will influence you and you will be rejuvenated. You will discover your dreams, ambitions. Come here in any mood, you will go back with joy in heart and hope in mind.
Fortunately I got job near this place and then I get familiar with this place.
I came here on the very first day of my job, on days when I got increments, projects were delivered. on day when I decided to quit job. My most of the tea-breaks have happened here. Even now something special happens in my life, I run here, sitting on the rocks I do celebration. Innumerable memorable, sweet memories are associated with this place. This place is very close to my heart! I am deeply in love with this place!
Oops! Look at the time... Its almost 12.30 night! I must wrap up things and run for the 12.46 last local.
Bye Bye Bye .......
