Mumbai's past needs a future...
On Apollo Bunder, with upscale restaurants like Indigo Deli and Moshe and stores like House of Raro for company, lies this marvellous ruin. I call it Kalimpong House, owing to the tottering signboard hanging off one end. Its facade, is all that remains, but what a facade it is! Victorian-Gothic in provenance, the facade opens up into a gorgeous little courtyard, perfect for an outdoor cafe. Makes you wonder why some canny restaurateur doesn't spot the potential and snap it up. Someone please breathe life into this one!
