The typical EI male has supreme levels of fitness and endurance...till he turns 30.

Most of us have been a part of football teams, track and field events in school, badminton etc at some point of time.

Outdoor games (catching kuk, seven tiles, dabba i spy, chain chain etc) actually kept us fit as kids.

Inspite of having calorie rich diets, the physical activity helped us keep in shape.

Once married and / or working, the trend is to sit back and enjoy your food, dr...

Most people who have grown up in Vile Parle, Bombay, would have, at some point or the other, "gone to Aunty's for tutions"

Aunty Dorothy, Vile Parle east, must have literally had scores of children sit at the giant, shining black, granite topped table in her huge east Indian house (now sold).

For me, a student of St. Xaviers, school would end at 3.45 p.m., mad dash home, have tea and rush for the 4.00 p.m. tution class - Hindi, marathi. there were many other kids - Gujarati's sout...

Now that my 4 year old daughter has started school, I think back to the time of my own school days.

There are some things that always stick around in your mind. Sights, smells and events typical to the schhol you went to.

Rainy Season: getting into those new gumboots / sandak sandals, the smell of new rubber is one thing that i can never forget. Walking in the rains to school in Vile Parle, with the water squishing my toes, then removing them to dry the feet in class...some f...

Hello everyone,

I have recently been transferred to Chennai (after 33 years in amchi mobai).

Just checking, any EI's in Chennai / Associations etc that we could catch up on?

I go to St. Thomas church here in Chennai (Santhome)

Anyways, everyone asks me where I am from. I have to actually explain that I am a Native Mumbaiite...givem me an opportunity to learn more about my ancestry.

I have been browsing through Uncle Teddy's book (from Vile Parle). whole lotta stu...
