Nostalgia
Nostalgic writing by a cricketer, a Mumbaite(Mumbaikar) (resident of Mumbai) who played street cricket in front of the fountain in his young age, reads that the fountain at the centre of the Mumbai city evokes feelings:
The Centres of the world are well etched in the mind: the New York’s Time Square and the Paris’s Champs Elysee, London’s Piccadilly circus. Even now I feel a curious magic about Mumbai’s Flora Fountain. We called it the heart of the city and so it was.
