Mumbai or Bombay looked vastly different a hundred years ago. Salim Ali, the legendary bird watcher and ornithologist, grew up in the first decades of twentieth-century in south Bombay. He has left a delightful account of his school days and summer holidays in his memoir The Fall of a Sparrow.

The first episode of HistoryChatter this year looks back at some of those memories hundred years ago.
The Fall of a Sparrow is a book you simply cannot resist.
