Odd Shots On Monday #9

There are a few of these Odd signs in the green spaces (small spaces developed into garden area) outside Vashi Railway Station. I noticed that no one would really stoop down to reach the outlet there to drink water, when drinking water is freely available at all the food stalls at the station complex.

A closer look at the sign (all of them) revealed that 'sewage'' was spelt 'sawage' which is also odd, because the painting work is often given to people who don't know proper English.

This outlet is hardly a few inches higher than ground level.

Odd Shots #8

This is Juhu Beach again, where Krrish and I had icecream and Kala-Khatta gola last weekend.

Cows and bulls on the streets is not an uncommon sight here, but this bull was resting right next to the pav bhaji and gola stall. It was surely an odd sight and Krrish wanted to be reassured that it wouldn't attack us while he was gorging on strawberry icecream and me slurrping Kala-Khatta gola.

Odd Shots On Monday #7

As I walked up the pedestrian path on Palm Beach road, which is built over the railway line and Vashi railway station, I looked down to see the railway line and the greenery near it. I saw this portion of a pipeline on the ground. It was an unexpected sight and also Odd-looking, in the middle

of nowhere.

Odd Shots On Monday #6

I walked along the highway last week to get some interesting shots of traffic, and saw this odd looking thing from a distance. As I came closer,I realised it was the trunk of an uprooted tree.

Odd Shots On Monday #5

The overhead water tanks of these buildings have been covered with tarpaulin sheets to avoid seepage of rain water into the tanks.
It's odd because it looks like small huts built over the buildings.

Odd Shots On Monday #4

Well, this is not an odd sight in my city. The odd thing is that most people are using the safety grill as an attic. You can see a cooking gas cylinder in this photo.

This one has spare chairs and a table. The space is not intended for such use and spoils the look of the building. And I wonder sometimes if the grill is strong enough to hold one or two (I saw two gas cylinders in the sixth floor grill).

I find this also very odd. The space is meant for storing tools for house-keeeping in  an organized manner. But the staff has been filling it with stuff meant for reselling like used  deodorant and perfume bottles, old cardboard, thermocol, old wooden doors, sunmica sheets...

Odd Shots on Monday #3

This newspaper reading stand lies abandoned in the market area in Vashi for years now. Earlier, people used to stand here and read newspapers. The newspapers were provided free (Im not sure who exactly provided them -Municipal body or..), a cord tied along the centre page of each newspaper, to keep it in its place.

Either people are not reading newspapers much nowadays, or most can afford to buy one (which I think is true).

This tree in Jijamata Udyan has grown in this odd wavy manner upto a height of above 10 feet.

This is an electric pole with all live wires dangling outside for a few weeks now, and my choice for my first post of Odd Shots on Monday
