Beautiful views of before and after: The Copper Pod trees that had only buds and later the yellow flowers shone, giving an irresistible lustre.
Second is the sunset and the colours after the sunset, more like a beautiful stale light

Charni road to Bombay hospital
A road filled lined by beautiful Copper Pod flower trees and many other variety of trees.
We pass Our Lady of Dolours Church and the Gol Masjid near Metro theater
Girgaon: People in Girgaon usually burst out from every gully, corner of this neighborhood. To see few or no people, that too keeping 6 ft distance and eerie silence, was a first for us. Scary for some, shocking for many, now the Girgaonkars want the lockdown to get over.
Most places as you can guage from the layout, are cheek by jowl. Many living in cramped rooms, staying put 24×7, can give rise to new frictions and dynamics within the families and for society as a whole.
Stay Home: message the authorities wrote at the main junction of Girgaon. Bold, but little followed.
We are being bombarded with the message, stay home, stay safe, through television, radio, newspapers, cellphones, but it is NOT something, people are used to.
Are they taking it lightly? Have reconciled to the dark truth, the virus will remain? Are they unconcerned or have they given up?
As the authorities continued to enforce restrictions of containment zone in our area, the police implemented curfew-like rules, strictly. No vehicular movement and no person was allowed out on the streets.
Even those with essential services passes, except mediapersons, were not allowed out on the streets. Eerie silence and Girgaon, Opera House, wore a dead look
Lockdown impact: Entire city is for car parking
It’s all dark, right now
Lockdown: No work! Stressful times for labour, as there is no work. Carts lined up, as workers try to take some rest.
Lockdown: carts tied by chains. Strong message, that workers have left and no more luggage to carted around the city
The empty streets tell a different story…
An Eid that was not celebrated publicly. Rarity, not to see people do Eid shopping, go to offer prayers and exchange sweets. Yet this comerardie between two youth raises your spirits…there is hope.
