Bombay was originally made up
of seven islands which were home to the Koli fisherfolk who are still settled
on the shoreline and into fishing. The islands were ruled by a succession of
Hindu dynasties, later invaded by Muslims in the 14th century then
ceded to Portugal by the Sultan of Gujarat in 1534. The Portuguese gifted it as
dowry to the British when Catherine of Braganza married England’s Charles II in
1661. The British government took possession of all the seven islands in 1665
but after 3 years leased them to the East India Company for a meager annual
rent of 10 Sterling pounds. Bombay soon developed as a trading port due to its
fine harbour. Within 20 years, the presidency of the East India Company was
transferred to Bombay from Surat, and the town soon became the trading
headquarters for the entire west coast of India.

A make-up
trick that all girls must know!
When you apply makeup, you usually apply powder
last. Reversing your makeup routine is what is being suggested. However for a
more long lasting finish especially if the climate is humid, you should apply
in first. Moisturise your skin, apply powder, then setting spray and later a
primer – now your base is ready for makeup. In this case, you don’t even need
bake the makeup.
