So this year 2018 had some more amazing art features.
Journey
So my journey started using the most common public transportation of Mumbai i.e 'Local trains' although it was Sunday there was a lot of rush on the platform, and here some Sundays are worst because the train timings are not appropriate, some trains run late so I had to miss 2-3 trains to make sure I get inside the train and find a seat. Now I know most of you'll think missing 2-3 trains & waiting for the next one to come will take a lot of time but chill its nothing like that cause Mumbai's train might be late but every 5-6 minutes new train arrives.
The train journey is only exhausting if you don't find a seat if you do find you'll be able to enjoy it and sit back at ease for next 2 hours, also depends on slow trains and fast trains.
After reaching to CST (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj terminus) I took the next transport which is a taxi. Kala Ghoda street is 20 mins walk from CST but due to the sun on top of your head one might not want to walk will make you feel dizzy. Taxi only takes 5 mins to reach Kala Ghoda street. check out the entrance photo.
Entry
After security check, the first thing you'll see is this
This art depicts the elements of natural air, water, wind, fire & space zoom in the get a clear view.
Following this the next art is also quite same structure body of a tree, this defines as how man has destroyed the beautiful nature inside out and converted it for the benefit of his future.
This picture shows "Human nature" by definition it means saving this environment means saving yourself.
Look at those buildings made from papers and some drawings with chalk and there's two famous dialogue written of a Bollywood's movie "Eak pedh ki kimat tum kya janah insan babu? which translates to " You can't put a value to nature"
Here, it represents a connection of water bodies that flow throughout India.Water depicts a strong force of nature. The shining blue circles show water droplets that are connected to white pipes allowing it to reach from north to south in India, which shows no matter how different we are but we are still one nation.
In the middle of the street, this standing masterpiece is promoting an initiative started by Jaslok hospital which helps people fight depression especially teens in this generation they guarantee to talk to you and help you within 48 hours.
I couldn't figure out what was this art about because as you see in the picture there was no space around to look, but I find this cute child wondering at the classic
Need some air
The towering masterpiece provokes you to think about today's Mumbai's landscapes says this masterpiece maker, as in recent years pollution is the city's biggest problem. In Mumbai finding space and comfort is not easy and building more towers cutting down environment has made its own city suffer making it difficult to breathe now.
'I need some air' is an enclosed, artificially created oasis allowing you to 'breathe'.
There are many photos to add and many more things for you to see, so stay connected for part 2.
