The 40-acre Sewri Christian Cemetery is resting place for old Bombay's movers and shakers. Walk With mid-day's inaugural edition last Sunday took 10 readers to discover the stories hidden inside the historic burial ground.

Our city is filled with layers, and in between each of these, is not one, but several stories of its origins and the great minds that helped shape it. Giving wings to this idea, we launched the new editorial property, Walk With mid-day, where experts from the newsroom head a tour for a small group to let them discover these little-known facets of the city. We flagged off the series with Graves of the Greats, where we took 10 explorers for an hour-long walk inside Sewri Christian Cemetery. Three of them share their experiences.
'A magical port-key to Mumbai's checkered past'
One of the nicest things to do on a Sunday morning is to explore nooks and corners of the city with a bunch of similarly curious explorers. And Walk With mid-day, an initiative to take readers on a curated walk to various parts of Mumbai, enabled this to happen at the Sewri Christian Cemetery last Sunday.
