That's my world

This is on the flyover at Lower Parel which was, till a decade back, a predominantly textile mill area. The flyover did not exist then. Now the area is known for shopping malls, corporate offices, restaurants and amusement areas employing quite a few of those people who lost their jobs when the textile mills closed.

  2. My friend said each time she returns to Mumbai, it's different. So many changes, she gets lost:)

    I hope to see Mumbai someday too.

  3. Very interesting shot of Mumbai...and it's so good to hear that people who lost their jobs were able to obtain others. Mumbai reacted well to change.

  4. It's nice to read that the area rebounded when the mills closed. Where are the mills now? China?

  6. You know, except for the traffic being on the wrong side of the road, this could be in any of the larger cities right here in my home state.

    Okay, the ads on the light posts would be different too. But you get my meaning.

    Love the haze half hiding the towers in the background. Gives it kind of a Land of Oz feeling.

  9. Bet the changes are occurring very rapidly!

    Was it just cloudy or is that smog?

  11. It is the same the world over how industrial areas evolve into shopping malls with the same shops.
