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

Vashi



Playgrounds of Mumbai.




My friend Suranga Date had this to say after seeing this picture.


The stairs
have such a boring life.

Pointless climbing
next to stained walls
and narrowly allowing
one prosperous type at a time
to scrape across
their squared surface,
owned as they are
by everyone as
super built up areas. 

Super folks
buying super houses
with marble floors
safety doors,
modular kitchens
and personal balconies.

Somewhere 
before resuming the climb
the stairs stop,
and watch. 

A game is in progress
in the super playgrounds
provided by the 
builder,
covered,
enclosed,
protected , shared,
and 
one 'carpet area' free
for the youngest one. 

What did you think ?

A garden ? Nah.....

Then he wouldn't be a super builder,
just a stupid one.
