You can't have been to Mumbai and not been to Colaba. The ultimate tourist hotspot, with colonial architecture and the bullet riddled walls of Cafe Leopold. This week, in the second episode of Exploring your Backyard, we take you to two silent spectators of Colaba, which are barely even noticed even by those who live there. Walk with us through Colaba to uncover its connections with Mark Twain, Marie Curie and Dr Ambedkar amongst others. Tune in, and discover the stories of Colaba you haven't heard of, and what simple truth they unravel for us.
