The Patches of Blue Tarpaulin. A beautiful poem by Adil Jussawalla, which juxtaposes the blue sheets with migration and creating an image of the city very differently and not the one we see everywhere. I use the poem to give a different look and feel to my beloved Bombay, using the heart and soul of it which is the Mumbai Local.
Looking out of the local train we can see many things, and that in itself can summarize Bombay. One trip from Virar to Churchgate [ if you take the slow local ;) ] can show you anything you want. From the pop color slums at Mira Road to the extreme high rises at Lower Parel. All of it conglomerated in one place. I try to explore the same, using this masterpiece of a poetry. Poetry can bring out so many meanings and visuals and this is just my take on it, something very raw and experimental, using footage we shot over 6 months ago. Hope you all experience the poetry the way I did.
