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

Borla Koliwada Road



Encountered in Mumbai: Ibrahim from Pali, Rajasthan. He decorates trucks. 

You will find Aam Artists like Ibrahim in places where trucks are parked or are waiting. Places like Cotton Green, APMCs and Ibrahim was walking from truck to truck onthe road leading to Chembur camp from Shivaji Statue where tankers waiting for delivery from BPCL wait.

That bouquet of flower is made by him and his asking price is Rs 100 each. He also sells stickers, reflectors and does sticker art. But he cannot read or write which means that he is not able to write messages on trucks.

Scroll down and you will see his plastic wrapper that is his purse with a copy of his Aadaar card and cards with numbers. He also does not carry a mobile phone. And Ibrahim's contact number is in Rajasthan. The number he had on a card was 9521631161.
