A stretch for each part of the body!

“See, see bugger!”

Slumdog Millionaire

The Mumbai Skyline at Versova under overcast skies almost a year since the 26/11 attacks

I came across these black and white photos and thought I must share them with you http://www.quarterbar.com/2009/11/20/versova-mumbai-400061/.

But what to do. The only loo they have. Happy World Toilet Day!

And you enter the loo. And it is small. And the light is dim. Most of the flow finds it way into the hole in the ground, rather than the porcelain cavity.

Why don’t you take part in Mr. Bombay body building competitions?

“Bugger, my thighs have become nice and hard. I was very thin before. But now my thighs and calves have become nice and strong and hard!”

“Then why don’t you take part in Mr. Bombay body building contest?”

“Shaaaks.”

“Bugger, go, take part, and tell that chic from Delhi and the other from Calcutta to come apply oil on you, bugger!”

“HAHAHAHAHA”

“You’ll win bugger, you’ll win! Then you can get a job in the police or as a railway ticket checker!”

“HAHAHAHAAHHA”

Elections

Never have I missed the opportunity to cast my vote. General Education Academy plays host on election day, be it central or state. And dry days begin a couple of days prior. Oft, I’ve run into neighbors at the polls. I met Dr. Akshay in 1999, the first time ever that I’d voted. “Hello, Geoffery, have you come to vote?”

Yesterday, I met the Gautam mother and daughter, strong supporters of the RSS. And Mr. Jay; a Congressman.

A. Rama Nayak’s UDIPI

We went to A. Rama Nayak’s UDIPI again. Since before independence. 1942. Just outside Matunga station on the east side. YO YO YO YO YO YO YO.

Mumbai in the afternoon

Photos from within an auto rickshaw this afternoon:

the Auto-rickshaw bugger

He looked all of 16. He said that indeed, he had a driving license. I doubt it. A son of the soil. I enquired about his where abouts.

“Kanjurmarg. I’m from Kanjurmarg.”
