 TEL AVIV On July 16, following a summer tradition of eight years, Tel Aviv municipality treated its constituency to an opera – an open mega event that took place on the lawn of Yarkon Park (Ganei Yehoshua, Tel-Aviv). Previous productions included La traviata, Nabucco, Rigoletto, and Samson and Delilah, all performed by the Israeli Opera. In 2009 – the year in which Tel-Aviv celebrates its first centenary – the stakes were raised, with the illustrious La Scala (Milan being a sister city of Tel-Aviv) singing Verdi's Requiem, no less.

 MUMBAI Let us welcome this first issue with a heady mix of high-spice high-drama cultural titbits that make Bombay, Amchi Mumbai (My Mumbai in Marathi, the local language), the madhouse we have all come to love so deeply.
Bombay or Mumbai like any other fast paced high flying cosmopolitan city in the world seems to be constantly on the go. With a steady urge to up itself, this financial and entertainment hub to a billion people almost never stops to take a breath.

JERUSALEM A visit to Jerusalem can't be considered complete without a tour in the old city. But the ancient district includes so many sites – the short epithet “old” standing for such a long and complex history – that you might find yourself quickly overwhelmed by the surroundings. The Model Of Jerusalem in the Israel Museum provides a great preliminary overview of the place; it imparts the essential historical context – broad enough to satisfy general interest, and deep enough to support further inquiries.
