That's my world

On 15Aug (our Independence Day) and 16Aug, The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) started a campaign of beautifying the wall that separates the railway tracks from the road that runs alongside for a distance of almost 3kms between Mahim and Dadar. It was initiated with 'The Wall Project' (to add visual elements of colour, form and texture to a space) - a group of enthusiastic people. The paint,brushes and all other material required for this graffiti bonanza was supplied by the BMC authorities and a free hand was given to one and all who wished to write on the wall. The only caveat was there should not be any religious,political or messages of hatred. It turned out to be a 'beautiful' way to celebrate our Independence Day!

Saturday Photohunt - Utensils

This year the monsoons in Mumbai arrived late due to which the lakes supplying water to the city were drying up. This resulted in severe water shortage and restricted water supply, leading to people using all available utensils to store water in homes. Fortunately with the arrival of the monsoons the situation has improved and the lakes are filling up!
