Finally up and running is the long-awaited $2 billion Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport’s Terminal 2. Home to one of the largest art galleries in such a facility, this new terminal beautifully depicts India’s vibrant culture and heritage through a mosaic haven that is gradually on its way to instate itself as a monument that represents the pride and glory of the subcontinent.
Dedicated to the nation by ex Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Terminal 2 (T2) boasts impeccable precision in detail.
The terminal is designed with a dancing peacock theme in which special lights move with the changing direction of the sun, reflecting an array of colours and angles.
It is the brilliant thought of including a magnanimous display of approximately 7,000 artefacts collected from over 1,500 artists across the country that make up the heart of the terminal.
It truly speaks of the country’s dedication to the arts, to her rich culture and the importance and pride we place on our opulent and nuanced heritage.
Making for an invigorating change from being hit by a stench of humidity and mosquitoes, Terminal 2 ensures that you’re welcomed into the country with all the wealth and gold you could possibly take in.
In terms of an identity that India has to offer, all the way from pop-culture, to Bollywood to the esteemed handicrafts—this master-museum facility leaves gleaming with pride.

As the esteemed Dorothy Parker once said "living well is the best revenge" and I take that piece of advice to heart. A babe in the woods for all things theatrical--I like to see drama in the mundane. Fresh off the yacht into this editorial world, I look forward to bringing in a fresh, beautiful perspective.
