…and chances are that they won’t end up like him – the glass could be half empty…or half full! And the perspective that ‘Bombay’ gives me is really full of optimism and resilience
So the man on the right could just still be in the 6 lakh odd villages of India, toiling at his family farmland – by now, divided into bits with each passing generation…at the mercy of good rains or poor droughts! Instead, walk the streets of Mumbai and you will come across petty traders, shop keepers, vendors…self made businessmen in their own right! It is the city that spawns entrepreneurship in every size and form…the city that gives people a chance to make a life and yet presents poverty as a very real option….it is these complex ironies that make us love the city!

hey, today’s Mumbai kids on the street are, well, street-smart. 15 years from now, these bread-shovellers will probably be running their own international chain of bakeries and will have plenty of dough!

Dear Pinaki, thank you for the trip to Mumbai (your Bombay) and for the semantic sneak peaks around corners and through keyholes that I’ll probably never have the chance of seeing by myself. Why would anyone need to see Mumbai when Pinaki strolls you through his Bombay with his magical quill and lens as vehicles? Nahhh, maybe I’ll never go to Mumbai after all. Especially if Pinaki keeps writing about it. And shooting it, in his own way. The best story is always his own.
