The New 'Photographer's Delight in Mumbai

The All the Bandra Worli Sea Link has 'finally' opened ... its been a lonoooooong wait ...

 

Its a beauty in itself ... a new destination for the photographers in Mumbai ...

 

the sea-link promises beauty from a thousand different angles and view points ... in all different shades and colours ... at all time of day, twilight and night ... and yes .. in all weather conditions .. sunny, cloudy and RAINY !

 

I would just love to have some clicks … I am not sure if the designers created any lane to walk across the sea-link !! It would be such a delight to walk across the 5.6 KM stretch with the sea breeze blowing all around you, the vast ocean on one side and Mumbai city skyline on the other

 

 

On a different note ... there was such a debate and controversy and fight over naming the sea-link ... debate over which politician to name it after ...

Even now after the inauguration, some protest seems to be going on (you could read about it here )

 

Don't these political parties got something better to do. Why not leave thye name of structure out of their agenda. Why not call the sea link simply "Bandra Worli Sea Link" … simple intuitive and easy to remember.

Or as one of my colleague, Aseem, suggested. If you indeed have to keep a 'name' , why not pick up the name or names of the martyrs of Nov.26 terrorist attack in Mumbai … or a personality who has contributed to India significantly in recent times without being affiliated to a political party.

 

Why !! Oh Why ! Do our political leaders and their armies have to spend useless wasted efforts on non-issues!

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
