I had gone with my family and relatives to Aksa beach for a weekend holiday recently. Located in the western suburb of Mumbai in Malad, it is a good two hours drive from our place at Chembur. Aksa has a pretty long stretch of beach and could be made a excellent tourist spot by developing facilities to have speed boat ride, water sports and paragliding. I was appalled at the poor condition of the beach strewn with garbages and plastics waste. The only redeeming feature is that I could find life guard stationed at the beach as Aksa is notorious for deadly under water currents and many drowning cases is reported every year.

There wasnt much shooting opp but still could manage few images.

Mumbai's Eastern Water Front

A lot has been written and debated on merits of the eastern water front project study and to present it in a visual form was most challenging task for me. The opportunity came in the form of a photography work shop on Mumbai’s eastern water front, conducted by the renowned German photographer Kai-Olaf Hesse under aegis of Goethe Institute.

Bandra Skywalk- Walking to stay fit and healthy

When I first heard the news of the completion of the Bandra skywalk project linking Bandra station to Bandra –kurla complex (BKC), I had a longing to visit the Bandra skywalk. And the opportunity came up this week, a month after it was open to the pedestrians. Bandra skywalk is the first project to have been completed among the many such skywalk project coming up all over Mumbai. It was built by the MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority) at an estimated cost of Rs 13.63 crore. The Bandra skywalk is built 6 metre above ground level and is 4 metre wide. It is a 1.3 Km long stretch running parallel to the Slums near Bandra station, the Indian oil office and above the Western Express highway. The entry and exit point is the Bandra station and BKC.
