Mumbai � India�s financial nerve centre & biggest port � is a melting pot with a population of over fifteen million.Bursting at the seams, the crowded, pulsating city is not just a city of gold but also a city of dreams � it is home to the Bollywood. BOMBAY: THEN Enriched with in-depth historical research and exclusive photographs, Bombay: Then documents the transformation of the once �insignificant cluster of islets� into one of the most exciting spots for cultural exchange in South Asia. Among other views, the book illustrates the Mankeshwar temple and the Rajabai Clock Tower wrapped in scaffolding; the construction of Victoria Dock and the opening of its massive underwater gates; a lush and sparsely populated Malabar Hill; a rare view of the interior of a Parsi fire temple; factory scenes inside the Royal Mint and the Times of India units; what the stock exchange looked like nearly a century ago; and many breath-taking aerial shots of this beautiful island-city. Bombay: Then is a sheer visual treat through extraordinary historical photographs. MUMBAI: NOW Mumbai � India�s financial nerve centre and biggest port � is a melting pot with a population of over fifteen million. Bursting at the seams, the crowded, pulsating city is not just a city of gold but also a city of dreams � it is home to the Hindi film industry, also known as Bollywood. Mumbai: Now captures the city�s chaotic but spirited and robust present, and brings this shape-shifting, elusive city to you � from the stories of the first Goan migrants to the lives of native Koli fishermen; from the tradition of dabbawalas to that of �cutting� chai; and from the potters in Dharavi to the pink flamingos in Sewri � in a series of beautiful, moving pictures that capture the many moods and faces of Mumbai.
