Default A day in Mumbai - what must I do?

I may be in Mumbai for a week on business in June, and I wonder what
are the "must see's" if I can stay over an extra day for sightseeing?

All tips on sights, and other tourist survival aspects, gratefully
received!!



Golly. Where to start.

Scene at Juhu beach, Gateway of India, afternoon tea opposite at Taj, a
berry pulao at Britannia in Ballard Estate, various clubs.

Taxis suck but it's not a walking town, commuter rail is crowded at
peak hour but a oddly good way to meet people.

It's a bizarre city really. DON'T read Maximum City by Suketu Mehta
before you go ... it'll put you off completely.
