Sir Robert Grant was born in India to English parents. As governor of Bombay. he promoted the idea of a medical college for natives, and found a promoter in Sir Jamsetji Jeejeeboy. The Golden Wafer Lane was home to Lavy Pinto, the Asian Games 100 meter gold medalist. The same structure housed a Parsi who was eighty five when the HongKong Bank sent him a check for many millions : turns out a grand uncle was one of five founders of the British Bank. He refused it, and asked my fatherto issue one to the Parsi General Hosptal. I do not know of computer pushers, but the red light district is a mile dowm the road, past Coronation Biryani and two Parsi Fire Temples. The Play House drew an upper class from Club Back and Bellasis when the governor lived in the precinct. Now dilapidated, it is synonymous with the flesh trade.
