# 11235 : the grounds of the race course

mumbai, maharashtra, india. may 2008
mahalakshmi race course

the expansive grounds of the mahalakshmi race course are amongst south mumbai's largest open spaces. but are also probably the least accessible to the general public. maybe the race course should be moved to the outskirts of the city, and a large central-park like environment be created in its place? it will never happen, but wishful thinking doesn't harm anyone. oh, and i just remembered: the government is actually planning to convert the race course into some sort of acquatic theme park!

# 8397 : polka dots in a local market

ganeshpuri, maharashtra, india. november 2007
getaway : family

ganeshpuri and the more-famous neighbouring town of vajreshwari lies around 80km north of mumbai, and are famous for their hot water springs. ganeshpuri's claim to fame is the serene nityanand mandir, with its aggressive flower sellers. right outside the temple premises is this local market stocking everything from plastic cricket sets to portraits of the famous saint. the lines of orange-yellow-brown polka dots are quite unusual for a small town's market street.

# 0009 : wavy tiles and shut shutters

mumbai, maharashtra, india. april 2006
andheri station

one of the shopping areas that lies between s v road and the andheri west station road. at 7.30 in the morning all these shops had their shutter down. a little later this scene would be very different.
the photo was heavily blurred - hence i photo-shopped the heavy contrast

# 1228 : step-well

ahmedabad, gujarat, india. december 2005
krvia : 2nd yr : 12 on 12 seminar at cept

at the step-well at adalaj. my first experience of this particular architectural typology, that mixes an every-day water-fetching chore with religion and provides facilities for traders enroute. a fabulous play of light and shadow, along with perception of depth and three dimensional vistas makes this quite an enthralling experience. more about this particular step well here

this number actually had a video under it, and the posted pic is a still from the video. hence the pixelated quality.
