Vashi Bridge

This is just from my observation and I could be wrong. On the days after big rains, there is a lot of things that you see floating in the Thane Creek, especially trees, leaves and biological things. This year, there was more plastic.

Migrant Gods of Mumbai - Koti Chennayya of Tulunadu 

In the popular Udupi restaurant at Saath Rasta called Shree Ram, they have this image of the legendary heroes of Tulunadu or the places where Tulu is spoken in what is presently Mangaluru, Udupi and Kasargod districts of Karnataka and Kerala.

Koti and Chennayya lived in the 16th Century and have shrines in their name across that region. This one had the name of a shrine in Udupi.

Mumbai has a large population of Tulu speakers including the people who run the Udipi restaurant business and that's part of this city's hertiage.

Meanwhile, they serve Samosa here with a South Indian chutney and they are famosu for their sweets.

Dwarapalakas: Welcome signs to Indian buildings

Like Munnabhai, both me and Siddharth Agarwal spotted 'Gandhi' in this old building on Princess Street. Incidently this is outside the door of Gita Press, Gorakhpur's Mumbai office. More about Gita Press here.

Byculla station has not one but two Wheelers. Thanks to the rain and the wind, the books looked 'Weather Beaten'.

So did a resident.

Shivdi Station

If your name is not on the electoral list. If they refuse to add your name to the list, how does it feel. Not as bad as being on that list in Assam and the one the caste supremacists in Delhi want to use across India to trouble people who are not their preferred caste. 

Shivdi Station

This is also a school. This is also learning. The school of senses.

Blue Sky Day

This is something I noticed when I started using a camera and got hooked to patterns. That here in the Deccan, there are days when seasons change when the sky changes to a deeper shade of blue. The air is clear of dust and cloud patterns that are not usual to this side of the world, make an appearance.

Before monsoon, when the monsoon withdraws, summer makes way for winter... almost all the seasonal changes are reflected in the sky. These images were shot when the monsoon of 2019, a late one thanks to Cyclone Vayu, reached Mumbai.
