This is probably what peace feels like in this city. To outsiders this may just be a another shot of a random stranger taking a nap in the train but to people like me it is a rare sight. A local train this empty was probably last seen during the 93 bomb blasts. Bombay's local trains are designed to accomodate about 3000 passengers, however, during peak hours they are packed with more than 6000 people. That's more than 18 passengers per square meter, in other words.. denser than roaches in a gutter. More than 2000 people die every year traveling in such packed trains and nobody knows how many get injured. Imagine the struggle of going through something like this day after day, everyday. All this risk just to get to their workplace or back home. I guess I've been lucky so far. #mumbai #EverydayMumbai Photo & text @mister_whistler via Instagram http://ift.tt/1LO8VxS

It's been four years exactly. I didn't come to this city with tinted dreams or skyhigh ambitions instead I had come with two bags of crap and a scared heart. It was difficult, pretty difficult at the start. There have been days when I'd even cried myself to sleep. The drift from having a whole second floor to myself to just a small room wasn't easy at all. I have travelled in first class with a second class ticket, I have tried punching coupons from a PCO booth just because a friend asked to me punch them from red color booths, I have pronounced d'aa'beli (a popular Bombay dish) as dabeli and was at the receiving end of some gruesome stares from the seller.And then.. gradually, I learnt it all. I learned what vegetarian chinese tastes like, I learned how to have pav with everything, I learned how to be my sweetest best when a cop stops my car at night, I learned to wear jackets in December even when there's no trace of winter....to midnight bhurjis and seasides, to butterscotch milkmaid gola that blew my mind off, to the buildings and the roads, to the people and their love, to all the happy memories, to Bombay. You're my city. I can write pages about you and I am very possessive about you. But I will always be permanently in love with you.

On their way back from school, two young girls peep inside the recycled soap manufacturing facility in a slum neighbourhood in Bhiwandi (Thane) near Mumbai. It's amusing to know that kids are educated about hygiene and sanitation in the government schools especially the ones falling in the rural circuit. #EverydayMumbai Photo @rohitpixel via Instagram http://ift.tt/1IA6blZ

Trupti Naik, 9, is dressed as Hanuman(Monkey God) for the "Gudi Padwa" rally in Dadar, Mumbai on March 21st, 2015. Gudi Padwa marks the beginning of the New Year, new month and new day for the Hindus according to Lunar calendar. It is celebrated throughout India both privately inside homes and outside with a lot of fan fare. It is called by different names(Cheti Chand, Ugadi, Yugadi) in different regions of India.

In a landmark judgement the Supreme Court in USA ruled in favour of same sex marriage last week in all 50 states in America. It surely is a victory for equality more than a victory for lgbt community. Hopefully one day we in India too can be fair with everyone and not stuck with archaic colonial law & mindset.

Churchgate Train Station, 11:17 a.m. Nearly 125 years ago, there were very few restaurants in the Fort/Churchgate area of Mumbai for employees to dine at. To solve this problem, villages outside of the city set up a delivery system to supply warm lunches for the workers in their families. Over the years, the system expanded, and now thousands upon thousands of deliveries are made to offices around Mumbai every day. Churchgate train station is one of many places where these meals change hands. I spent the morning here – as well as on the streets and in office buildings of Mumbai – for a piece I am putting together for @fourseasons on the Dabbawala delivery system. #ExperienceFS @fsmumbai #mumbai #EverydayMumbai #passionpassport Photo & text @zachspassport via Instagram http://ift.tt/1duqUKV
