A city with an edge, a city of opportunities and dreams. Mumbai, India’s economic, commercial, and entertainment capital, is a prosperous symbol of modern India. I was born, raised, and educated here, and though I have lived most of my life outside this city, I believe there is an imaginary tug that forever pulls me in its direction. It has been wounded often by outside forces in the last few decades, but it springs right back as one of the greatest, most fascinating, dynamic, and chaotic cities in the world.
It will always remain ‘my city’.
Mombayn, Bombain, Monbayn, Bambaye, Bombaiim, Boon Bay, Bombay, Bambai, Mambai, Mumbai - some of the many names of this city since the early 15th century, named and renamed every few years during Portuguese and British rule in India.
I have taken this opportunity to tie these works to the ancient names of my beloved city.
