From October to March if you get off at Sewri (E) railway station (Harbour line), and look hesitant, chances are that the locals will give you directions to the Sewri mudflats. A small suburb on the island city’s eastern edge — Sewri has been on my route of passage from my home in Chembur to St Xavier’s College. I never stopped by until recently when I alighted at this station with two kids and two adults, with the the intention of meeting a handful of guests who visit this part of Mumbai with more regularity than most Mumbaikars.
