The Bhajiwali Bai Of Bandra Bazar Road


She is one of the very old faces at the Bandra Bazar Market , sitting comfortably selling raw peanuts avlas and local vegetables , she has seen and touched both my grand daughters , and they always salute her when they pass her way ..she has mood swings and can be rude and cranky , if business is bad that is, they dont have stalls like the cobblers in Maharashtra , and these are the real Maharashtrians so to speak.. she has been selling vegetables on this road and close to her sits her daughter and her grand kids all part of her heritage , with no change in their lives ...

Most of the present day Bandra politicians used to run around in shorts in front of her , see has seen them become big saabs ,, but have they seen her .. thats not part of this blog.

Will her life change ,, 2014 elections is round the corner only Time will tell..
