Bhuleshwar Bazaars
Kalbadevi
You would love this area if you don’t mind being scared out of your wits by long lines of honking taxis and motorcycles behind you and worker after worker coming at you from the front with loads of goods on their narrow long handcarts. Then make way for the cows that seem to know where they are going without anyone leading the way but with an absentee owner and maybe a woman with a bucket of food or water nearby. And don’t forget to look down so you don’t step in a hole or into greywater or even urine and spital caused by the use of paan (betelnut, tobacco and other ingredients).
Workers stared at Bob and his camcorder-many didn’t know what to think-others were delighted to see themselves on the digital screen-thanking Bob and shaking his hand. But not the Muslim women.
