It's that time of the year when you can head to a getaway to spot a variety of birds that throng the skies, forests and wetlands in and around Mumbai.

Groups of kids jostling other kids or playing rough are smoothly broken and with impartiality. The kids snack in between and could have stayed for longer. But there are places to go. Home, for instance

They have now set up Halluhallu, a walking experiences service with a focus of discovering the city through slow, off-beat trails and walks. So, when they announced a river walk in Dahisar, I jumped at the opportunity

Trip to Kaas is not just the miles and miles of brilliant bloom; it is also the waterfalls of Thoseghar and the majestic windmill farms of Chalkewadi

We walk down the by-lane in Juhu that opens into a wide space and even from afar, Tic Tac Toe looks like every child's idea of a fun place

A kingdom of indoor fun for kids to make the most of their childhood

It is not that there weren't any parks around. Bandra has three of them within a km of where I live. But nothing of this scale

There are the Kanheri Caves, Elephanta Caves, Mahakali Caves, the Mandapeshwar Caves and the caves in Jogeshwari.

The place is compact, with plain rectangular tables and chairs. When we enter, we are greeted by Pradnya who cheerfully rattles out our choices. We pick a table, order food and beverages, and choose to play fun board games.

After five years of reviewing spaces for children in Mumbai, I wait with bated breath for a new place to savour
