Now that the fanfare and the tamasha around the swearing-in ceremony is over, and our newly appointed Chief Minster must get down to the business of running our state, we couldn’t help but slip in our wish list for Mumbai, especially with regards to our grossly untapped and neglected cultural landscape. We’re not quite sure if it will reach Mr. CM but we thought of giving it a shot, nevertheless.

More buzz on the cultural calendar: The city could surely do with more events on this calendar, round the year, and not just from November to February. Invite international travelling festivals, troupes and musical events to make Mumbai a part of their itinerary. Most importantly, we should be able to sustain it, with sponsors who are willing to back such initiatives. Remember what happened just before this year’s edition of MAMI was to begin? Also, let’s go easy on the entertainment tax so we can enjoy some of the world’s best musicians and acts.
