The Gemstone Bawa Of Kurla Bridge



He is a hawker who sells cheap gemstones on the public overbridge that connects Kurla West To Kurla East .. this overbridge is a poor mans shopping mall.

I have known this Bawa since many years he used to sell gemstones rings at the Urus of Makhdhoom Shah Baba ,,and this is what he does sell his stuff during the various Urus in and out of Mumbai.. his favorite place is Ajmer Sharif , he goes to Nagpur and other Dargahs ,,he offers me tea too and this is their genuine hospitality ,,I have never bought any stone from him.. and he does compliment me for what I wear..

These are people I shoot here too I call him Bawa and never by his name ,, he is married his sons have stalls on this bridge .
