dadar parking quest . limo-auto . 'one way'

saurabh, aditya and me spent the early afternoon driving up and down the narrow crowded roads around dadar station, where a maze of one ways, throngs of pedestrians and the usual mess of vehicles made navigation difficult to impossible. we were hunting for possible alternative parking spaces around the station as our proposal for the reorganization of the railway station area hinges on pedestrianising some streets. no real luck in our quest. all the possible spaces were already overflowing with cabs, cars, buses, tempos, hand carts.. every possible kind of vehicle but auto rickshaws which are reserved for us lowly north mumbaiites.

speaking of which here is a photo of one which is in reality a bmw limousine in disguise – at andheri today in the morning.

at mukuls place i saw two versions of ayishas film 'one way' on the nepali watchman at a bangalore housing colony who lives in the electric room in the basement with his wife and two children. ayisha had intercut the interviews and the atmosphere shots with found footage of (i assume) uprisings and protests in nepal. mukuls hd photography was exquisite.
