Bandra Fish Market

The Bandra Fish market is the domain of the Koli fisherwomen, who come here to sell fish, most of them stay at Chimbai, Mahim or Khar Danda.

They are a very congenial lot, have fixed customers, extremely polite and gracious.

They are very fun loving people , but you have to drive a hard bargain, the best time to get fish is before they break for the day at about 1 oclock..

Than they give the fish to you at almost throw away price.

Sundays are really crowded.

On one side of the fish market a few women sell shell fish and live jumbo crabs.

The most in demand are Pomfrets, prawns , ravas and gol, bangdas or sardines , bombay ducks..

You hardly see lobsters here..

I have been coming to this market , which is now close to my house since 25 years.

A little ahead is the onoion sellers and beyond that the beef market .

Next to the beef market is the mutton market and the chicken shops.

Bandra Bazar is the most neglected Municipal market in Mumbai..filthy , dirty and totally unhygeinic during the rains when the entire market becomes inundated.

Broken Houses Broken Dreams

picture of pereira wadi bandra

tute hue gharon mein
yeh dilon ko kya basaienge
enka bas chale to paise ke liye
aap ki rooh ko bhi nigal jaienge
gharibi hatao siyasat ko bachao
tower aur shopping mall banao
kehke 15 august ko azadi
ka nara lagate hue
yeh apki kabar se guzar jayenge

A show that makes me puke
a show for the sake of humanity
vociferously voyeuristic

Even Jesus In My Area Talks To Empty Chairs


tells

to hon minister
with an angry
stare potholes
overflowing gutters
open garbage mounds

to share for the public

why are deleted dreams
on the soul of humanity
not repaired ..all kinds of
ghotala all kinds of gates
scams corruption ministerji

my people their pain
to me they have bared
you give them false promises
i give them hope fresh air
