Space crunch

Mumbai is the city to make ones dreams come true. The city that affords opportunities to all those willing to work their butts off! Hence, it is overcrowded to the last mm of space available. Mumbai also had the dubious distinction of hosting the biggest slum in Asia, in a place called Dharavi. But now most of these slums are being demolished and the slum dwellers being given decent housing by the city fathers. These slums are not easily demolished because they have become votebanks for the local politicians.

Garlands

This again is in Matunga where there are rows of shops selling garlands of all shapes and sizes. These garlands can be used for various occasions including marriages, offerings in religious places or for felicitations.

Going Bananas...

These varieities of Bananas are specially available in 'Matunga' where the Tamilians (from South India) congregate. They obviously love them!
