Before I get to the grim news (power failure), here's something for you to exercise your grey cells. The Guessing Game goes on. But only for one picture. The second one, featuring 2 professional models ( at the time). It was shot for 'Femina' by the legendary photographer, Jitendra Arya. These are dinosaur images clicked in the dark ages. You have to guess the year...
And the pic on top is of two of my daughters, Anandita and Avantikka, clicked last week. I rather liked it. And have taken their permission before posting it here. Young Vishwaveer who clicked it, could make the cut as a photographer. Agree???

The bijli went at 3 a.m. on sunday. It is 8 p.m. monday right now, and I am still in the dark. Along with thousands of others in South Mumbai. BEST (ironical name for the Electric Company that has let us down so badly!)insists it's 'trying' to restore power. Not trying hard enough, I'm afraid. I'm thinking about those living on the 25th floor. The elevators aren't working either! What happens during a medical emergency?? Add the sweltering October heat factor.... this isn't fun.
Let us see the effect of this bijli failure after nine months :) Good fotos.
ReplyDeleteWhy buy a house in a building that does not guarantee round the clock power back-up ? Similarly why live in a country that does not ensure ... so many things ?
ReplyDeleteThis is just the trailor. The main picture is yet to start.
ReplyDeleteWe have received so much rain but yet the BMC cuts water, so that the tanker mafia and their rogue staff (BMC) make more money at the expense of us Citizens.
Won't be surprised if they keep having these black outs, so that every society is forced to purchase a Gen-set. No need to complete my thoughts....
Cheers!
Zeenat and you?

Respected Madam,
ReplyDeleteWhile reporting this news the english Medai used an acronym "SoBo" for South Bombay, instead of using "SoMu" (South Mumbai") .Since i could not get your email_id i am using this Blog to request you to write an article on intriguing acronym "SoBo" which is being used by English Media in last 2/3 years. Who coined it ? Why ? and When ?
