NM Joshi Marg

 


Three forms of worship. One spot on NM Joshi Marg. 







NM Joshi Marg




I was invited by Naman Saraiya and the organizers of the EyeMyth Festival 2019 to be part of a panel on Subcultures. It was part of a segment called Media Futures and coordinated by Vice India.

They played this video on Indian Hiphop + Azadi Records, made by Naman for Vice India following which we had a panel discussion involving me, Naman, Nisha Vasudevan of Supari and Poulomi, the film reviewer and critic at Arre and various other publications.

It was fun.

After the dicussion, Naman pulled out his latest toy - a Polaroid camera and shot a few images of all of us. It costs Rs 60 a pic approximately.













Mumbai Monorail Photographs



I finally took the Mumbai Monorail, the poor cousin of all public transport systems in the city. After a long wait. the public transport system that connects Chembur and Mahalaxmi was opened recently on a Sunday that also happens to be Ambedkar Jayanti.  It was filled with exciting boys and a few girls. I was happy to be part of the boys, enjoying the ride. The most beautiful part of the monorail is that we can sit right behind the driver and watch the journey unfold.  





A few observations

- The years when it stood idle and gathered dust is visible
- It should probably have been longer and a metro connecting Ghatkopar or Kurla on one side and maybe to or via Dadar West
- Maybe it should have been in another part of the city altogether
