Titled 'Mumbai Masala', the book is a travel guide to the must do's and must know's while you are in the city. Note the Re.1 coins stuck on the front page.
The book contains an illustrated guide with an alphabetical listing in the devanagri script.
Isn't the detailing beautiful? I wish Neha made more such beautiful guides on other Indian cities as well- desi Lonely Planet guides :)
The immensely talented Neha is currently working on her thesis on endangered languages and the cultural connections that are lost when a language goes extinct.
You can find more info on her thesis at her blog. The topic is particularly close to my heart as my mother tongue Tulu, will probably go extinct in a few more generations.
You can find more of Neha's wonderful work, including the hand inked poster below, here.
