As we reach the last week of 2018, it is time to look back at the year that was — what are the places we trapezed through in the city, where we ventured, what we loved, what we would love to revisit at a given chance, what we look upon fondly at and what taught us, all-knowing Mumbai denizens, something new.

This year opened with us tiptoeing through Sassoon Docks — an excuse to take the kids to one of its oldest city docks — because a handful of artists from all over the world had come over and set up an urban art festival in a city barely able to stand on its legs. And stood tall it did. The 142-year-old landmark that had been a forgotten universe and home to the native Kolis living in a world of their own making, celebrated the city in a singular voice and format. The Sassoon Dock Art Project set the tone for the year.
