Anuradha Shankar

Anuradha Shankar is a mother, traveller, freelance writer, compulsive bookworm.. not necessarily in that order. She lives in Mumbai and aims to travel as much as she can across the country, 11 year old son in tow. Her blog "A Wandering Mind" is primarily a travel blog, but true to its name it wanders all the time - from events to random thoughts, book reviews to her son"s latest peccadilloes

This is one of three houses built by the Dutch East India Company between the late 1670s and 1690, and was either the home of the Dutch Commander, or a military hospice for Dutch soldiers. Later bought by a Jewish family, it was named ‘David Hall’. The house has changed many hands over the years, and now, after much restoration, is an art gallery exhibiting the work of local artists, and the café inspires you to sit down for a while and take a second look at the works!

Note: David Hall is located right opposite Parade Ground. For more details, see their website.
