A popular book stall near Churchgate station.

There are many such book stalls all over the city. Mumbaikars are voracious readers. Out of ten train or bus commuters, you will find atleast two reading something- whether it is a book, novel, newspaper, magazine in English or any other language.

Mumbai's BLUE Cool Cabs

Click on image to view full size
Unlike the yellow taxis with the black top, Mumbai's blue cool cabs with silvery white tops are air-conditioned and have electronic meters. So the cabbie can't fool you if you are unaware of the meter conversion rates. They are more comfortable than the yellow and black analog metered taxis and the ride costs a little extra, which is worth every rupee in the hot and humid Mumbai weather.
Also, now there are private yellow cabs, blue cabs and cabs exclusively for women driven by women too.

My World #2
HAPPY DEEPAVALI

 

Click image to view full size

Today, we celebrate Deepavali (Diwali) , the 'Festival of Lights' where the lights or oil-lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.
We lit oil lamps near the door, which was adorned by a beautiful toran. Also, oil-lamps are traditionally lit at windows of all rooms of the house.

A string of lights and a lantern hung in the balcony, and rangoli at the door completes the decoration. Fireworks, new clothes and sweets are an important part of the celebration.

We also perform a Lakshmi-Ganesh pooja. Lakshmi is the hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity. Ganesha is woshipped at the beginning of any auspicious event.

I have shown a couple of photos but the essence of Diwali cannot be expressed or explained in a few pictures or sentences.
Tomorrow is the New Year accorrding to the Hindu calendar.

Saturday Photohunters Theme: SCARY

This is another spooky and scary scene of the trees at Juhu beach. I didn't realise it till I saw the photo on my computer.
I see spooky figures formed by the branches of these trees. Do you see them too? or is my imagination running wild?

Skywatch Friday

Click on image to view full size
On Wednesday, 22nd October 2008, India launched it's maiden unmanned mission to the moon.
The mission's goals are not just mapping the surface of the moon but also the distribution of elements and minerals. The $80 million mission plans to test systems for a future moon landing.
It was a historic moment for our country.
And while different missions continue to explore the moon, we continue to stare at the moon, photograph it and enjoy romantic moonlit nights.

This is the moon as seen from my balcony on Wednesday night.

Dilkhush Special School

Dilkhush Special school is a school for children with a mental handicap.They have around 100 children from 6-18 years of age and with varying degrees of Mental Handicap yet within the mild and moderate range though they have a few who are also severely handicapped.

 

Every child is treated as an individual and taught at his/her own pace though in a class situation. In academics they put a lot of emphasis on Functional Academics- studies related to life, and also do a lot to teach the students socially acceptable behaviour.
