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 :)

previous post, on similar lines here
the neighbouring under construction building is offering interesting photo-ops with the lighting and the texture of the materials.

haven’t been regular with posting due to college work, and the coming days seem to be as tight. this btw is the 175th photo on mindless mumbai!
posting after 4-5 days. college work is crazy. found the lighting in the adjoining under-construction building quite photo-genic. satisfied with a shot, after a long time.
a lot of discussions about redevelopment today. most of the issues it seems are sorted out

i like the way the colours have come out in this photo. this building is right next to mine, and i’ve been clicking it very often. many of the snaps of construction workers are from here

note to self: where do you get the cheapest dish-washer?
a steel reinforcement cage for the footing of a retaining wall. this reinforcement cage looks a lot better like this rather than in a head-on one point perspective.
construction site visits offer great photo-ops :)

at charmichael road

another reinforcement cage here

4000 visitors’ marked crossed. thanks!
college is on in full swing; and the plan is to finish the technical subjects rather soon, so that there’s more time towards the end, to concentrate on design.
any guesses what is this image of? look below for the answer…

the long rods are torque steel reinforcement rods, used in RCC construction. these particular ones were being used for the pile foundation. see an earlier photo of the reinforcement when its been put together to form a cage for the piles here

by the way, there are going to be a lot of posts related to college and college work in the next few months….
