You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
Bandra where I stay is a haven for slums and politically powerful slumlords , you dont see them but they see you , and there is lot of money in the slums illegal water power connections , and as one slum comes under the slum rehabilitation project , those who have tailoring embroidery workshops , caterers move towards other slums ..and the rents are always on the higher side in Bandra West as compared to Bandra East .
But Bandra East has a lot of clusters Garib Nagar , Behrampada , Bharat Nagar , Maharashtra Nagar Valmiki Nagar Gyneshwar Nagar .
Bandra Wet has the infamously famous for its dirtiness Nargis Dutt Nagar , and even empty spaces beneath the flyover has makeshift tents , the Lal Mitti slums all allowed to proliferate as vote banks for various politicians a few have already bitten the dirt .. than you have Bangarwadi slums , Indraji nagar slums that refuses to be called a slum , Rajiv Nagar and so on.
Once the CRZ opens up all these slums will go and in their place you have will have the rich mans condominiums towers and superhigh rise .
Slums is fodder for all politicians they need the slums and the slum dwellers need the politicians
The in between s , the political touts keep the line open between the slums and the politicians and the slum vote is a collective vote ,,it can move either way with or against the wind.
The change in Bandra was visible to all , we knew it much before the clarion call, fancy brochures testimonials fail, try as much as you want when your time has come to go you have to go.. and even God cant save you ,, as here on Earth the Voter is God , you fuck him once you fuck him twice but hey you cant go on fucking him forever ,,
And so another one bites the dust..
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
