Far-Flung Postcards is a weekly series in which NPR’s international team shares moments from their lives and work around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mumbai is a city of more than 18 million people<\/a> crammed on a tiny peninsula, and so residents take their breathing space where they can get it.<\/p>\n

That’s often on promenades, like this one by Carter Road, that gird the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n

On a recent day, I joined what felt like the rest of Mumbai to enjoy the late-afternoon breeze.<\/p>\n

While strolling, I saw this gentleman read his newspaper. A worker napped. A mother pushed a pram. A housemaid walked an expensive, tiny dog. A couple canoodled in a corner. A woman wearing a face-veil lifted it to take a photo with another young woman. A musician sang off-key to an audience of one stumbling drunk man.<\/p>\n
