Waste


Oh the things that we buy and use for years with no visible or scientifically tested powers.
These balls you see in my hand were bought from a Singapore store. They claim to make your clothes softer I think or do they help clean them better. Just pop them into the washing machine and there you are. And that’s where they having been lying ever since – the washing machine. We have no clue how effective they or even if they make an iota of difference. But they are there… getting washed everyday, sometimes twice a day, tirelessly getting clean. I think once a brave mountaineer was asked – why do you climb mountains? He answered – because they are there.

Horrendous architecture is everywhere all around us. I never cease to be amazed by our desire for the obnoxious. This is the entrance gate to Wadala truck terminus. Notice the ugly hideous jokers cap on top of that structure. What on earth is the architecture trying to do? Play a joke, what else? I think it was a year or more back when Jispa’s friends were around 4/5 years old. We passing by and I cooked up this strange story of the giant who once lived here but was subsequently killed. The hat belonged to him. The poor kid almost believed me…
