Fight Test

I made a failed attempt at moving all this stuff to Wordpress. Turned out poorly. Instead, here's Beaker, courtesy of Auzelle.

Pune, Maharashtra, India

Pune is about 2 hours southeast of Mumbai, and, like Mumbai, is being developed at breakneck speed. The highway from Mumbai to Pune is littered with advertisements for new development projects, many of which are being built without regard to any of the other projects coming up. The above image is a new road being built to a new development I visited. These images were taken just outside the city center.

Khandala, Part 1

In the 1960's, my grandfather bought some land which came to be known by the family as "Khandala", named after the area. Over the years, small projects would be started here and there as money came in. It's become a staple of family trips through the years, and many soon-to-be family members visited as girlfriends or boyfriends. When it was fist purchased, it was one of the only properties in the area. 

Colaba/Cuffe Parade Reclamation

"I remember playing on the reclaimed stretch of  rocks across from Baug [the building on the right] when I used to go over to my best friend Kamal's house when we were in school. Kamal lived in a similar looking house a couple of blocks behind Baug. They were still reclaiming the land then in Cuffe Parade. We did not take much pictures then and yet the memories never fade.....and are more clear than some of the digital pictures taken in these times." - Shaida Khan
