Hello  Yogita...    Thanks  very  much  for  your  answer  to  my  inquiry  about  what  to  do  in  a  very  short  visit  to  Mumbai,  one  or  two  days  only,  on  a  flight  from  New  Zealand  to  London.    I  appreciate  your  input,  but  let's  try  again.    With  greatest  respect,  I  must  tell  you  I  have  no  interest  in  most  of  what  you  mention.    My  interests  are  in  cultural  sights,  historical  sites,  museums,  other  educational  sites,  natural  wonders,  etcetera.      You  do  mention  an  Iskcon  Temple,  and  that  may  be  something  I  would  like  to  see.    Could  you  be  kind  enough  to  suggest  some  things  I  might  like  to  see...or  could  you  recommend  a  site  where  I  could  learn  more?    Thank  you  very  much  indeed.
