Having been born and brought up in Juhu, the sea has always been a quiet constant in my life, a silent witness to growing up, to change, and to everything in between. Over the years, I’ve watched Mumbai’s coastline evolve familiar neighbourhoods reshaped, skylines rising, old landmarks giving way to modern living. What was once languid, open seaside life has slowly blended into the pulse of a fast-moving city, without ever fully losing its soul. Yet, step a little away from the obvious, closer to the water, and the old Bombay still breathes. In Versova’s gaothan, inhabited by the Koli community — the original custodians of this city, life feels rooted and unhurried It felt especially fitting, then, to spend the evening by the sea with @cyrusmody of @viceroyproperties — a visionary who genuinely cares about people, community, and the stories that shape a place. Through VERSOVA, the beautifully curated coffee table book he unveiled, he brings together over a hundred years of the area’s layered history with thoughtfulness and respect. Set against the soft glow of the setting sun and hosted in conversation by the ever-graceful @mariagorettiz the evening felt intimate, reflective, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Some places evolve. Some places endure. Versova, beautifully, does both. #VersovaStories #MumbaiByTheSea #CityChronicles #CoastalLiving #RoopammExperience
