Govandi

Govandi is located between Vashi and Kurla in the harbor line

No lines apart from harbor run via Govandi

On the top of the houses that look like broken match boxes,

you see more green flags and blue than saffron

The biggest slaughter house and the dumping ground is located here.

Govandi has 27x7 police patrolling and CCTV camera's

but no water and electricity or

any other government service 27x7

Some government records writes

Mini Pakistan, instead of Govandi

 

Govandi wakes up early with the Azan of Subhi*

you see a crowd of women, from young girls to elder women

going to near by flats and societies as house maids

Kasai's* starts their morning routine at the slaughter house.

As the Autowala's begin their morning

Govandi get into the routine

Govandi doesn't sleep even after the last local passes from which

the smell of the sweat come out

the scent of work from CST to all other suburbs

to which men and women of Govandi go for work


 

The color of Govandi is green mixed and blue with saffron here and there

The smell of Govandi is a mixed smell of

fried beef, Kheema Pav, chicken Kebab and drainage water

The sound of Govandi is a mixed with auto wala's, running locals

various types of street vendors and the Azhan


 

*Morning prayer

*People from the butchers caste among Muslims.
