From A Different Angle

Sir Pherozeshah Mehta is known as the Father of Municipal Government in Bombay. What Bombay is today, we Bombayites owe a lot to this guy. A master in city planning, this former municipal commissioner of Bombay, stands tall in the bronze statue opposite the BMC Headquarters at VT station. But the people who built this statue were not that smart. They probably did not know how it would look from all angles. If you can spot the humour in the photograph, then fine. I am not going to explicitly point it out to you!

I think we should have a rating system for blog posts, don't you think? :p

But well, what do you know? Maybe it really isn't the sculptor's fault. After all, Bombay IS a very exciting city ;)

Ms V : Lol! You categorised mine as 'A' :-D And yes, Bombay can excite anyone. Can you guess what part of the body is it actually supposed to be?(From the front view)

I'm thinking it's the hand... held in a "Bless you, my child" kind of position?!?

Originally, I thought it might have been a sword or something.

Hand it is! Though the position is exactly mirror image of what you talked :-) The palm is facing the sky..

Het : Credit goes to Mukul for pointing that out to me :-)

Kathy : :-) We all have dirty minds. Just that many want to showcase 'clean liness' to the society ;-)

Unrelated to your Focus/Direction -
Actually, I give the British a lot of Credit for Bombay.
Almost all the working infrastructure in Bombay today is yet from that era.
What have we added to Bombay in the last 50 years?
Filth, to be Precise.

Vinay : They have to be given credit for most of the things. If MUTP is succesful, then we can say that the Indians did something for Bombay too :-)

Dewdy : Thanks :-)

Anu : :-) I look so nervous in those videos ( there are two of them :-) )
