The Indian Railways allow regular people with their work tools to use the network, like BEST. The same cannot be said about the new modes of public transport that the city is building or has been built - Metro and Mono rail.  This is what kills this city's spirit.

Lockdown and fragility of lives in Mumbai.

The edge of poverty that most Indians live in has come into sharp focus in March 2020. However it is a fact of life is you have escaped poverty elsewhere in India to find a better life in Mumbai and you are yet to get a proper foothold. Like the lives of people who lived in these demolished dwellings in Wadala.

This happened a month before the pandemic hit Mumbai.

Hashtag and their stories: #PurdahSysteminMumbai 

Purdah system in Mumbai didn't begin as a hashtag but as a label on this blog. The trigger was the curtains found in country liquor bars on Shivdi. These curtains were excellent to stop people from outside to see who was inside but good for those inside to look out.

Soon I was noticing how curtains are used in the city by various people. For example, the curtains of BEST Bus Pass counters are made from the material that was used to cover the seat cushions in buses.

Look at more curtains of Mumbai.
