Mumbai

The bar-waitress who is Aishwarya Rai to herself, or a trucker’s secret desire to be a matinee idol.
An inner wall of a train compartment that has long been used as an ‘interactive’ site of pasting and defacing advertisement stickers. The texts that assure a better, affluent, trouble-free you.

 The colonial edifices that might be dwarfed only by your aspirations. The cabby who drives to the mall, leaving past his days as a textile worker. The Sai Babas, the 786s and the idols that bless us all.

Mumbai… Mumbai is lot of changed from his formation, after Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti achieved its goal on May 1, 1960.Maharastra state is from & Mumbai is capital...  State of Mumbai was partitioned into the Marathi-speaking. I explores revisits the formulations that are basic to the perception of space and time in Mumbai. Mumbai is a closed and at the same time open invitation to migrants from all over India & also came from small town village from Maharashtra.Girnikamgar, Dabyawale & Biharis (Bihar & eastern UP) who search for their dreams and their identity while they struggle to make living. City gives shultuer, bread & butter.Thereforeeverone says’ Mumbai ham ko jam gayi’’…. Hence, people from all over India, belonging to different cultures come here to realize their dreams. Language has seen a major shift giving its current flavor which is inspired by the culture of the migrants. Therefore Marthi manus & parprantiy disputes occurred from same politically party. Mumbai has become the melting pot of all Indian cultures. This is the reason Mumbai has a truly cosmopolitan population bustling with activity.

A city of 20 million, multi-headed, enterprising and twice-named (Mumbai/Bombay). Approximately 55 percent of Mumbaikars live in Slums, another 25 to 30 percent live in the Open. The remaining 15 to 20 percent live the buildings, Bungalows or high-rises. The rate of houses in Mumbai increased in this twenty years & it is a very critical condition for a common man.. Instead of Dadar common man now migrated from her & settled in Virar, Vasai…Houses is become a dream for common man’’Ghar Ek Sapana’’….Due to capitalization & Builder loby, the rooms of 10’ by 10’ foot are escape from the hands of the people. On showing the dreams houses slum area is destroyed. I think Mumbai V/S Mumbai because same people living in 10’ by 10’ sq.foot room  & on the other hand some people living 3000 sq foot flats….the two sides of life.

Its film industry "Bollywood" also draws a number of youths with tinsel dreams to Mumbai.  India's largest Stock Exchange which ranks as the third largest in the world is situated in Mumbai. Here, trading of stocks is carried out in billions of rupees everyday. Like every metropolis, water shortage and traffic jams have become the order of day, thanks to the newly built malls and skyscrapers everywhere. City of joy’’sealink’’every one  take pictures & frame it on his house walls, Mumbai is looking like a dream city .On other hand fifty years has been spent  to rehabilitation.  The biggest slum of world’’Dharavi’’…so I said city of joy is Dharavi…..

There is a perceived, self-engaged, sentimental side to the experience of navigating through Mumbai in a public transport vehicle. ‘Decorated’ taxis & auto rickshaws make their kitsch tore-interpret glam and glitz that the city is proud of.The trains and buses, in turn, are more open and accommodative. They are ready to flaunt your graffiti or even to be assaulted by the selective, playful erasure of instructions that leave a cynical, yet humorous mark. The altered aesthetics enlivens, individualizes the otherwise identical carriages. There is utilitarian value to the act of tearing off advertisements in Mumbai. The cloth banners, torn off the roads, have long served as bed sheets for the  poor of this city, whereas the flex banners now are used for making shelters. As an ever-growing city, Mumbai did not wear an identical, planned, embellished look. Mumbai’s ‘subaltern aesthetics’ is not of decoration and colour. It is rather about individual fantasy and collective pain. It then allows the utility of tearing, sees the wicked joy of defacement as incidental to making yourself comfortable

Mumbai has expanded and now encompasses residential and commercial development. The aesthetics has grown with the spatiality and temporality, as perceived by the people. My paintings, as such, populate so many intimate perceptions that it is hard to stamp them as cityscapes. Since last 6 year I am working on Mumbai city. city itself talks to me…perversely I work on “salaam Mumbai’’, ‘’Lifeline 786’’ & ’’B 4 Mumbai’’. .

 It also gives you the multiplicity of lifestyle choices coupled with the freedom to choose/grow your ‘village’ within Mumbai. The aesthetics has grown with the spatiality and temporality, as perceived by the people. My paintings, as such, populate so many intimate perceptions that it is hard to stamp them cityscapes.It’s my sites of commuting: sights of perception. This is not meant to be a portrait of Mumbai but rather one of the many possible indexes through which to interpret the city, its inhabitants and how it comes to articulate the nation as a whole.
