That's my world

A quaint little house in Mahim, Mumbai. Few such houses still remain as most of them have given way to ugly urban apartment complexes.

  1. Great capture! We've lost many of those little houses here in Seattle as apartment complexes take over everywhere.

  2. Very nice. I'm interested in the Rambo circus posters. I'm having all kinds of funny visions of Sylvester Stalone in clown make-up. :)

  4. What a lovely little house. Hopefully, it won't have to give way to a wrecker's ball in the name of "improvements."

  5. I like this, Magiceye. These are the kinds of homes that make for neighborhoods and communities in a way that huge apartment complexes do not.

  6. This is beautiful! We always hoped that these small row-houses would exist for a lot more time but the way the population in Mumbai is increasing with so many people pouring in for Job opportunities and settling down here, it doesn't look possible.

  7. Looks no different from the old houses in Kerala, which are called Tharawads and now steadily vanishing!

  8. Lol! as I'm a sucker for quaint little houses I have no problem reading your description of urban apartments. It's great that one quaint house has remained. May it stay there forever.

  12. Well, yeah, only a few people can live in a nice little house, but thousands can live in a block of flats - that's democracy. Lovely photo.

  15. That unfortunately seems to be the way things are heading everywhere. Here if the older homes aren't being replaced by an apartment building or a strip mall, they're being leveled in favor of a "McMansion" that the average person can't ever afford.

  20. It is very different from here. It seems like it would be cozy inside.

  21. It's a global chageover, losing small personality neighborhoods to ruban sprawl.
