This one hits it home, literally! Loved it, got quite an insight about the people I share this city with. Proud to be a ठाणेकर :)

Thank you for all the beautiful photos of India. I visited once and would love to go again someday. I’m happy to read your work and wished I knew more on my trip to India! Thank you!

Just love the way you take us with you to the place through your narration and photos.

Delightful narration. We normally get a one dimensional view of the original inhabitants of Thane. I learnt more reading your essay than I did in the 5 years I stayed there.

I have seen this play out in Fort Kochi as well. The old replaced by standardized new-ness. Uniqueness lost to the more efficient mediocre.

Thank you for this Gopal.
