On the fringes of what was once the walled Fort of Mumbai,
stands the High Court, another hauntingly beautiful (some say
haunted!) structure, in brooding black stone. Opposite it lies the
Oval Maidan, formerly a large Bowling Green where English memsahibs
came to "take in the air." Today, it is an important lung
in a congested city, where aspiring young cricketers practice their
paces under the watchful eye of the High Court and the Mumbai
University.
