Mumbai Rocks
Caught By Night: The Hotel Taj,Mumbai caught against the background of the evening sky.
BootPolish Protocol: A bootpolish vendor pays carefull attention to his customer's shoes at Lower Parel Station.
Summer Time: Its summer time in Mumbai now and nature is clear witness to it. Seen here is one of the many trees that bloom to its fullest during this time of the year.
Call for Help: This snap was taken in the train. Seen here is a child begging for money. April 30th was Child Labour Day. Although the snap may not fit the ocassion, it potrays the importance of the need for children to have a proper education.
Its Hot,Hot,Hot: This snap was taken at Marine Lines. This summer has been very harsh on Mumbai, with temperatures rising well over the normal. Seen here is a man cooling himself off by having some delicious looking WaterMelons.
Wish this was true: Seen here is the state of a Mumbai Train, during off-peak hours. Probably I shall present to you'll a snap of the same train during peak hours. I'll let you feel the difference.
The Rich Will Get Richer, The Poor Poorer: Taken at the Chowpathy Beach, the first one shows Mumbai's most influential locality, Malabar Hill. It houses some of the richest people in the Mumbai City.
Boys just want to have fun: A group of boys try to have fun in the waters at Chowpatty Beach
Smoke in the Holy Waters: A holy man tries to get his feet wet. The side to the left is Nariman Point.
Six Sigma Status: The "Dabbawalla" system that operates in Mumbai is unique and incredible in the complexity of its task, simplicity of its operation, and surprisingly low error rates for a system of its size. It is a daily service in which thousands of men carry and deliver over 200,000 lunches every day, within a three hour block of time, across the city’s 70-kilometre stretch, with each lunch box (dabba) changing hands at least four times. Yet, for all its complexity and size, it is run and managed by a group of largely illiterate rural workers using nothing more than three or four symbols crudely painted on the lunch-boxes — that, and their own remarkable intuition, teamwork, and values.
Wish I could Fly: Commuters in Mumbai find creative ways to travel to office.
