That's my world

That is my world - Mumbai - a city full of sharp contrasts. Slums amid buildings. Trees amidst concrete. A result of overcrowding, poverty and success. A city throbbing with opportunities.

    I like how you described it as a city throbbing with opportunities. Same is true with many other Asian cities.

    Great post.

    Your photo is terrific as always and I, too, like how you described it as a city throbbing with opportunities! You always did have a way with words!

    We had slums like yours decades ago but now we dont have any. I hope one day your country will be the same. I love the movie slumdog millionaire. Love the musical dance too. Have a nice day.

    So interesting the way you put this using the contrasts of the building to underline the economy there. Extremes in every way.

    Amazing shot!

    Not to mention the scene of a lot of cool movies! This looks a little like the beginning of Satya. I know it's not, it just kinda looks like it.

    I imagine the Bollywood wealth vs. the poverty of the slums would be a good example of the extremes in India. I learned to love India during my 5 week trip there through Rotary International in Feb/March. Regards from EAGAN, Minnesota, USA!
