mindless mumbai

another photo from girgaon. this two feet wide thoroughfare connects christian dominated dabul area to the parsi dominated nawrojee lane. comfortable for a single line of people to pass through at a time.

as if moving houses, shoping and packing for the upcoming trip, and working for the vivas wasn’t enough; the attitudes, assumptions, callousness, behaviour, carelessness, and …. of a certain person have been annoying me to no end. and i’m so tired of it.

and the issue, as i see it, is going to drag on… but now i couldn’t care less, i’ve been as understanding as i could be, and as considerate as i should have been; beyond this i’m a scorpion, and i’ve been forced to sting…

did a lot of running around today. versova - juhu - cst - mahalakshmi - juhu - versova. and by good chance, the sim card guys are right next to the camera guy, and their building has a magnificent view of the race course. will try and click a photo of the racecourse some time…

mindless mumbai recently moved, and now i’ve got to follow suit. we’ve got to move out from our current place, to a temporary one for some time. and we’ve been hunting, and hunting, and hunting some more, for a suitable place. and we’ve not had much success yet, but have come across the most interesting landlords, existing tenants, flat layouts, flat locations and of-course, quoted prices. hopefully things shall get sorted soon. see related post here.

this photo is of charles correa’s kanchenjunga residential apartment building at peddar road, almost all of it hidden by the tree… much like how it seems to us students, too many barriers for us to be let in and see the building from inside

note to self: fiasco X 3 (4 bungalows, off yari rd, yari rd)

my apartment building has a bright red colour internal service shaft. i don’t know who chose the colour, but i quite like it…

hiya,
welocome to the new mindless mumbai website. mindless mumbai is a daily photo-blog from mumbai, india. and it’s no longer going to continue on blogger; instead, it’s got its own domain now:
www.mindlessmumbai.com/blog

some things remain unchanged: a photo a day (well, almost every day!) and a little bit about the photo.

but there are a couple of new features:
- there’s an improved way to browse through the archives: by tag words (quite similar to the ‘labels’ here) and categories (if you’re looking for photos with some specific characteristic)
- there’s a random option, to view a random photo from the archive, and a mosaic option, to view the photos, sorted yearly in a mosaic format
- also being tested is a map system, which’ll point out where in mumbai the photo was taken; along with a superset map, with all the positions of all the photos marked out

special thanks to vachan, partly for the hosting; and more so for finding out, installing and helping out with a lot of options meant specifically for photoblogs.

i’ve been working on the new site’s layout and design for a few days now. bouquets and brickbats, both are equally welcome.

and, a big thanks to all visitors so far; especial thanks to fellow CDPB-loggers for being the inspiration to post daily. hope you’ll continue visit us at our new location.
psst: and do update your links / blog-rolls too. thanks!

note of caution: much as i have worked on the html coding and css stylesheet of this new domain over the past few days, there are some things that i have just not been able to tweak. so don’t be too critical if you come across some text / graphics / layout / borders / fonts that aren’t too easy on the eye :)
