Flora and friend, a gift from Italy, Flora that is not the friend.

Continuing our hunt for Gustad we checked out the Flora Fountain in the commercial heart of Bombay.  Could Gustad and his colleague and friend Dinshawji have taken their lunch break by the fountain? 

Surely the the bank where they were employed would be in one of the grand Victorian buildings surrounding Flora, we just had to choose one.

 

Could this apartment building be Khodadad Buildings?  I doubt it we were probably not in a Parsi district but the walls and corners of the building did have an unpleasant odour! 

Street scenes which probably haven't changed much since Gustad roamed them.

Was this the meat market which so disgusted our hero?  The place was much too clean and our butcher too happy to upset me too much, that is until I saw the neighbouring stall!

At the request of the owner I photographed him with his 5 cats sitting amongst the carcasses.  The cats that is not the butcher. 

Fortunately it is very easy to be a vegetarian in India, they can create the most amazingly diverse dishes with just a handful of vegetables and a masala of spices.
