Hi Freinds,

I have been living in Mumbai from about 2 year, about a year back I heard for the first time about the Gilbert Hill, formed 66 million years ago. But on 16th march evening it was day I climbed up this great Hill for the first time. Can you imagine it is older then even concept of time. From a very far off past about which we not even can imagine.

About Gilbert Hill:
Gilbert Hill is a 200 ft (61 m) monolith column of black basalt rock at Andheri, in Mumbai, India. The rock has a sheer vertical face and was formed when molten lava was squeezed out of the Earth's clefts during the Mesozoic Era about 66 million years ago. During that era, molten lava had spread around most of the Indian states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, covering an area of 50,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi). The volcanic eruptions were also responsible for the destruction of plant and animal life during that era.

Also while climbing found this information board saying that Devils Tower from US and Gilbert hill have a same age and appearance.
I was really amazed to find this coincidences?

What I love about this place is it gives you a clear vision of how a Metroplolis grow, most of the time when I pass through city main roads and highWays, I can only see high rises and building but hidden them are slums, from where the major work force or labour force belong.
I hope You will enjoy my travel blog as this is my first travel vlog and facing camera for second time was a bit more confident. Will Soon come up with some travel blog.

This was shot on my friends Canon 70 D and my MI smart phone. I was not willing to use smart phone but my camera battery got discharged so I had to use phone camera. From next time I will use only my 5 D Mark 3 camera, will opt for color correction (as I am taking lectures on them).

Thanks
