The Gen. A.K. Vaidya Playground at Bandra Reclamation, a public space under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), has now been handed over to the MET Institute for what the civic body calls “pure maintenance.”
This ground has long been a vital spot for children, sports enthusiasts, and the local community. But with this new handover, many residents are worried about whether public access will truly remain free and open.
Is this really about better upkeep, or another step in shifting public spaces into private hands? Locals and activists are raising questions about transparency, access, and accountability.
What do you think — should public playgrounds remain fully under BMC’s care, or is institutional “maintenance” a fair solution?

The drive-in theater at Bandra East,, was a beloved destination for movie lovers in the 1970s and 1980s. Opened in 1977 by the Eros cinema group, this iconic venue featured a massive screen and accommodated over 600 cars on its sprawling 10-acre plot. Unfortunately, it closed its doors in the late 1990s, succumbing to declining popularity and the pressures of rising real estate values. A nostalgic reminder of a bygone era, the drive-in theater remains etched in the memories of many.

Citizens of Bandra West have voiced strong discontent regarding the Bollywood-themed installations underneath the Mumbai Metro Line 2B pillars along the Bandra to Juhu stretch. With a whopping budget of Rs 350 crore, locals suggest that the project merely serves to satisfy contractors rather than the community's needs. Instead of decorative installations, they advocate for greenery, calling for shrubs to be planted below the metro line, akin to the landscaping seen in other sections of the Mumbai Metro. What are your thoughts—should we cultivate greenery or embrace Bollywood flair?

As 2024 comes to an end, the Old Man awaits the bonfire at Mount Mary Steps, Bandra. Another Bombay tradition that’s fizzling out. While most people watch it take place nearly each year, the significance behind this tradition is known to few.
Made of hay and clothed, the old man represents all the sorrows of the year gone by that are to be burned away before the new year begins. Commonly referred to as Mr. Old Man or Old Man Gloom, the effigy burning symbolizes the burning of all the gloom the preceding year had.
