When
anyone talks about beauty and serenity, the first thing that comes to
mind is a park/garden. Strolling amidst beautifully manicured gardens,
with blossoming flowers providing as the background, seems to be the
perfect thing to do after a hard day at work. Even children love parks,
where they can run, play games and enjoy swings. Especially in the
present day world, where open spaces seem to diminishing day by day,
parks and gardens serve as a respite from the world of concrete. Same is
the case with the Mumbai city of India. The people living here love to
venture out in the evenings, go to such places and enjoy as a family.
