CDP Theme Day -Shopping

Shopping for veggies and tender coconuts during lockdown in Bandra east. The shoppers can call them and place your order which shall be then delivered in the lobby of your apartment complex. They generally spend around an hour outside every apartment complex.
Have taken a tall frame to include the cloudy sky too. 😀

Recycling agent

The lady who would clean up the sea shore by picking up the trash thrown by visitors and sell it to the recyclers. She is another victim of the lockdown as now there are no visitors, hence no trash. Hope she is managing to live through these difficult times. This picture is from the prelockdown days.

The daily wage earner

Wonder what she is doing now during the lockdown period. Is she going hungry? Will she make it through this terrible time and if she does, how much longer will she have to wait before getting a job? She is a migrant who had come to make a living in Mumbai and now she might not have a home to stay in.
She is a representation of all the daily wage earners in India today who are suffering the most.

This picture was taken before the imposition of the lockdown.

Lockdown extended

With humans all locked up, hardly anything to scavenge on now.
