आज @mumbaiheritage पर राजाबाई टावर के निर्माण की इस तस्वीर ने कितनी पुरानी यादों को जगा दिया। इस तस्वीर में बनते हुए राजाबाई टावर के पीछे अरब सागर नज़र आ रहा है। यानी राजाबाई टावर के पीछे का काला घोड़ा वाला इलाक़ा संभवत: तब नहीं था। आईये कुछ दिलचस्प तथ्यों पर ध्यान दें। 
हम आमतौर पर इस बात पर ध्यान नहीं देते कि राजाबाई टावर गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया से भी पुरानी इमारत है। राजाबाई टावर का निर्माण नवंबर 1878 में पूरा हो गया था। जबकि गेट-वे ऑफ इंडिया का निर्माण 4 दिसंबर 1924 को पूरा हुआ था। पर इससे भी पुरानी है यहां की एक और इमारत।
1870 में इस इलाक़े में बनकर तैयार हुआ था चर्चगेट स्टेशन जो सेंट थॉमस कथीड्रल के पास था। ये भी बता दें कि ये चर्च 1718 में बनकर तैयार हो गया था। यानी राजा बाई टावर इससे साठ साल बाद बना। और चर्चगेट स्टेशन राजाबाई टावर के आठ बरस बाद बना। ये रही इसकी तस्वीर।
Witnessed history being projected! On Saturday, 8th February, India’s prominent artist #nalinimalani created an installation on the facade of the #TajPalaceHotel in #Mumbai It had more than 50 animations and floating images, perfectly wrapped around the hotel
People stopped on the extremely busy #Gatewayofindia to hunt for the ‘#Koel’ (large Indian #cuckoos) as the sound of the #bird emitted from the #video Nalini Malani has an entire series called’Can you hear me?’ on @instagram on her profile
Sanjeet had already looked it up so when we were talking to the artist, she explained more to us.This hotel was the same place that had faced horrific #terroristattack in 2009.Today it represents a more peaceful #memory in the lives of the Mumbai lovers
@MumbaiPolice have not detained anyone protesting at #GatewayOfIndia . Repeat, no one has been detained. The protest was moved to the Azad Maidan, the legally designated spot for protests, after 36 hours of the protest being held at Gateway (1/n)
The police have stated that they made repeated appeals for the same before relocating them. They have also stated that there are better toilet and water facilities at Azad Maidan. (2/n)

Restrictions bad to be placed at several roads around Gateway due to the protest which can't be in place indefinitely. There are videos that show that the relocation was conducted without a single lathi, or even a hand, being raised (3/n)
