You know I am not trying to ignore the poverty that slum (I really dont like that word) dwellers may be living in but for some reason I really like those photos... I don't know why!

Those poor folks cannot enjoy the View as they have worse problems to cater too.
Nice pics.

Jst wondering did anyone read the recent article published in TOI in which David Inglus Asst Director for International Airport Development at IATA was slamming MIAL/ BOM airport big time...

He virtually stopped short of saying that BOM airport is a gone case and Govt shud rather concentrate more on the new airport which shud come up asap at Navi Mumbai.

It is an interesting picture. There is actually a strange similarity within the contrast.
The contrast is obviously the difference in the environment of the airport and the surrounding slums.
The similarity is that each one (slum dwellers & airport-users) doesnt really care about the other.

I was at shoppers stop and a guy told me that sir we are opening one at the airport.

No since i went in mumbai, i guess they were talking about mumbai airport.

Will see if i can go again get some more information.
