I was supposed to fly into &#8220;Sahara International&#8221; from &#8220;London Heathrow&#8221; &#8230; How did I reach &#8220;Chattrapati Shivaji International Terminal&#8221; ???<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you might have already guessed, it dint take long to clear the dust. Thank Lord! I was at Bombay, Oopps !!! Mumbai, where I was designated to be. Only that the name of the Airport had been changed from SI (Sahara International)  to CSI (Chattrapati Shivaji International)<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thats history!!!!&#8230; last week (2nd May 2009) I went to Saha&#8230;. Sorry! &#8230; CSI to receive some friend of mine . and once again that incident flashed before me. Well! This time  I knew for sure that I was at the right place. The looks of the International Airport  has just changed. It looks very different from what it used to be, Yeah! surely different for good.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been outside Mumbai\/India  and have not been to Mumbai in while,  I bet, you will have a similar experience that I had, surprised! The car park outside the arrivals has been replaced by a 4 storied Multilevel parking &#8230; The receiving areas has a proper canopy &#8230; some place to while away the long waits, sitting! &#8230;  a small Clock tower &#8230; some Plam trees &#8230; some greenery &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So to reduce to your shock when next time you land at Mumbai, I have posted a few pictures below of the Arrivals at Mumbai CSI Airport! &#8230; If you LIKE SURPRISES and would like to keep it until you arrive to Mumbai next time &#8230; DONOT SCROLL DOWN!!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span
