when one story ends, the other one will surely begin; probably not as soon as we’d desire but not as late as we’d imagine either…

the blog isn’t quite what i want it to be yet, but nevertheless, i felt that it was a good time to get back to posting photos. i shall continue to work on the template, hopefully. mindless mumbai has been pretty much out of action since the last few months - its actually been around 6 months since the regularly posts stopped. i am not even in mumbai at present, but still feel the desire to get back to regular posting. perhaps its the fact that i’m not going to be in mumbai for the remainder of the year that is pushing me to get back to posting pics - this is as good a time as any other. also, even though i am not going to be in mumbai till jan 2010 - save for a week at the end of may - i’m going to rely entirely on my archive of mumbai images to feed the post. ofcourse, i shall try to match the photo to what i’ve experienced during that day / to what my mood has been / to the situations, people and places that i’ve encountered or to those that i’ve been remembering…
a wagon from the bombay baroda and central indian railways, stationed outside mumbai central station.
an ad being fixed on a bus-stop along juhu-versova link road. the new bus-stops have a one-fix-for-all-situations approach, and are plonked everywhere, irrespective of foothpath size and passenger-traffic. i prefer the old concrete bus stops over these new shiny ones
on my way home from dad’s office, the rick took the new route appended to juhu gully. and with a new path there are new things to look out at. this is a random shot along the road. i didn’t frame the bicycle, but now i quite like how a part of it pops into the frame
trucks and oil-spilled road near sewri fort
saw this rickshaw while stuck in traffic on juhu-versova link road. on the rear side of the driver’s seat was this stack of books, in hindi as well as english. haven’t seen any other rick like this before. i was wondering about the kind of books he would keep in here. i can’t make out any of the titles, except on; which reads: ’self evolution’. nothing like a quick read while stuck in the traffic, eh?
the last few weeks, and especially the last few days have been crazy, crazy as hell. apart from the technical vivas, we’re shifting houses, and are leaving for a long holiday. and it’s all got to happen at the same time. all our furniture moved out today…. i guess the realisation that we’re leaving our home for the past two decades hasn’t sunk in yet, either because there’s no time for it to sink in, or because we know that we’re going to be back on the same spot, in a few years…
