Talaash! Which part of Mumbai do you want to see?

Mithi River



A photo Essay for Mumbai Boss: A walk along the River Mithi.

It's not the best place to go for walks but this is where our collective filth is collected and flushed into the Arabian Sea. But you are never really alone if you do decide to go for a walk. This photographer who has a studio in Kurla comes here often with his customers to take pictures with the glass buildings of BKC in the background.

A day before I went to Kurla junkyard, I was told that Mukesh Amabani's children were here with friends on a tour to see the river and the underbelly of the city. If you ever wondered where the smell of Mumbai comes from, it's from here and it belongs to us.
