Victoria Terminus StationInspite of being a part of this place for the past 24 years I never looked at it before the way I do now. Guess that's what happens when you try to capture it's beauty on celluloid. Or say a digital camera. Or say a brand new DSC-H9, 8.1 megapixal, 15x sony cybershot! Yay, ya got it right thats wot mah new baby looks like. And the best part is it's a gift frm dad :)
So basically I've been carryin this baby around, the way a 5 yr old wud cling to her barbie doll, and all my fav ppl (sushi n ) have to bear the brunt of it, and be patient of the numerous pitt stops I take for my shots. Mwah to u guys, I mean ok yu needta pay the price to be MY fav right >:)
South Bombay has a nice victorian architecture and you needta take a walk along it's pavements on a nice Sunday afternoon to experience it in it's purest form. Coz that's when it's the least crowded. Also thanks to BMC (Bombay Muncipal Corporation) it's real clean (most times) inspite of the educated ppl working in big MNCs littering around. BMC has it's headquarters here, and it's bldg u see in the pic below is opposite the station. Wish we had their headquarters everywhere, if that's what it takes to keep rest of the city as clean.
The BMC HQ
Also on weekends you can find booksellers along the pavements, selling books for real cheap. Everthing except for calvin&hobbes is cheap here :(
And you can also find some indulging in afternoon siestas. We have one such specimen below. Aah how I envy him.
I think I saw it reading Garfield's guide to cat-napping
I bought an R.K. Narayan - Ramayan and Mahabharat in his words - which is pretty much interesting as my knowledge on mythology pretty much sucks. So it's informative plus it's R.K. Narayan so it's real entertaining. Need I mention I got it for 200 bucks as against the market price of 500 >:) N got some weird books I dont remember the names of. He usually buys award winning stuff and as far as my experience goes, the books that win prizes usually are the biggest suckers. God of Small Things was a disaster for me, which won the Pulitzer? The Booker? who cares!
