Looking for Love…well if you are in Bombay, one thing is for sure, it is not at home. Instead you have to go elsewhere to well *makeout.*

Along Marine Drive, a sweeping ocean promenade ringed by fading art-deco buildings, lovers gather along the sea wall, kissing and caressing each other, seemingly oblivious to the showers of sea spray and frenetic traffic around them.

The new sexual permissiveness in India notwithstanding, Bombay wallahs have a space problem.

But even as Bombayites are finding love, they have nowhere to take it. With downtown apartments often costing $300,000 and salaries averaging $3,000 a year, buying, or even renting, a place of their own is an impossible dream for most.
