I am a recent migrant to Bandra , my roots are in Colaba but uprooted and tenderly transplanted in Bandra .. the rural Bandra of backlanes and gaothans,,
And Bandra is different shades , Pali Hill is different from Pali village , and Chimbai is different from Chium.. Mount Mary Carter Road , Waroda Road Veronica Road , Bandra Bazar Bandra Reclamation overcrowded slums of Nargis Dutt Nagar , aptly named slums Indraji Nagar Rajeev Nagar , soon one day in the near future you might have Rahul Gandhi Nagar, Bandra poor , Bandra the Muslim dominated part of Bandra is secular Congress voters .. the East Indians , Christans too normally vote for Congress and sadly it is the Gaothan and the Muslim slums the most neglected parts of Bandra .. after elections nobody has time for Old Bandra , so I regularly shoot Bandra garbage dumps as Garbage porn, I taught both my grand children 5 year old and 2 year old photography shooting garbage .. they known the tonal values of garbage ..and they shoot garbage of Bandra Bazar road brilliantly .. both Canon users shoot beggars too ..
They are both getting ready to shoot the political rallies that will be the only time when Salman Khan Ek Tha Tiger comes to Bandra Bazar Road , all the bantas and bidus are his followers .. but Salman has helped the Bandra slums during fire and other disasters ..
Election time is the only time top national leaders will come to Bandra Bazar Road ..to canvas for their satraps ,, after the elections Bandra Bazar Road is forgotten for 5 long years .. this is the saddest part of democracy where fools vote fools to power , wise people dont vote a dream gone sour , rich people find voting a proletariat thing so stay up safe in their ivory towers ..or go out of station on election day .. so someone else uninterested in humanity comes to power .. making money generating more property trusts ..every minute second hour..
Please read this as a poem.. I am bad with prose . malang bawa ..
I am street photographer a beggar poet .. I shoot misery cavorting with hope I shoot original content. I am Shia Sufi Hindu all in One
