This is the (Part-2) Street view of New Prabhadevi road, Dattu Bandekar Chowk, Prabhadevi, Mumbai.

Have a look at the Lodha towers visible from here, check the trump tower at the centre.(I do hope Mr Trump gets well soon and ends the war to concentrate on better things like building homes)

Now have a look at the curved old school chawl with the clay tiled roofs here.

The identity and landscape of the city has evolved a lot in the past few decades with many modern skyscrapers, highrises and skyrises having come up here.

The soul of the city though truly lies with the local people of the area living in humble homes and societies that contribute to the upkeep of the city.

The cultural and festive celebrations like the Ganesh Festival are celebrated with aplomb in this part of Mumbai with people of all castes and creed coming together as one.

I do hope the people of our country get good homes,infrastructure and facilities in the years to come.

This heritage building is the Wadia Building, Mancherji E Joshi Road & Tilak Road Jn, Dadar Parsi Colony,Dadar East, Mumbai.

Have a look at the extruded wooden framed balconies and the window chajjas along with border patterns and stepped design of the building.

The name of the building was stated in Gujarati & the former part was not very clear, so i went with the latter part of the name stated as Wadia Building

Have a look at the motif patterns and arches on the wooden framed balconies from the Tilak road end.

It does need urgent maintenance and restoration work on certain sections.

The cover of trees is wonderful in and around the area.
