17 families, 1 house

The ‘Committee Chawl’ which houses 17 families in one structure – all the 17 families are, or were, associated with the Khotachiwadi cricket club. The interior of this chawl, by the way, is a striking example of efficient usage of space and good design.


First look at Khotachiwadi

The bright colours, wooden stairs, balconies, tiled roofs and the narrow bylanes had me blink a few times. On a hot Bombay March afternoon, the air was surprisingly cool and unsurprisingly tranquil.


Sun n’ Shade

This building (Gresham Life) is on Sir Pherozeshah Mehta Rd, opposite the Mint. The sun behind the building shrouds it in near-darkness.


High, higher, highest

St Thomas Cathedral, in Fort in Bombay. The cathedral towers over the surroundings till it comes up against the blue sky.
