Behind all the chrome and glass, the highrises and the slums, the malls and the flyovers – it is easy to forget that Mumbai started life as a set of fishing villages. Many of those exist even today. It is almost as though ‘development’ has skirted past these villages and left them in a state of timelessness …..

I was shooting a few weeks ago near Madh … just outside the shooting bungalow was a fishing village. the women were drying fish in the blazing sun. the smell was quite overwhelming ! One very curious aspect – this particular fishing community was from Andhra Pradesh
