Kurla - Double Decker Bus of Mumbai

The crows love to ride the double decker bus.
Triple deckers?

CST Road - BEST and Senior Citizen

No City for Old People?

The BEST Bus system is a heaven-sent for the senior citizens because all other modes of public transport are crowded and not very friendly for their needs. This city is truly not for the old.

My earlier book about the Playgrounds of Mumbai looked at how the children of Mumbai adapted to a city with limited access to playgrounds. I am now toying with an idea of showing the city from the point of view of the elderly. Watch this space for more.

Bail Bazar

Bail Bazaar.

There is a small footpath bookshop at Bail Bazaar T Junction. Unfortunately, I was there when the shop was not set up. However, at the same spot, I met this young man with an interesting t-shirt. It says, Hey, Who Reads?

Who Reads?

You will be surprised. I have nearly a 100 entries about books and people reading from Mumbai and a few from Hyderabad showing that reading is not exactly dying (or studies for that matter, padta also means studying in Hindi).

You can see the stories about reading in public here at the Footpath Bookshop blog.

Trash Island

Had the pleasure of accompanying Siddharth Agarwal of the Veditum and make him take a breath of the exotic smell of the river Mithi. He walks along rivers observing, studying and documenting them. He has walked the length of the Ganga from mouth to source and the river Ken which is a major tributary of the Yamuna river.
