Simply Mumbai - 3 : Swachh Navi Mumbai

Swachh means Clean.
Navi Mumbai Municipal Staff does a great job cleaning the streets in Sanpada.
They are usually in sarees with a blue jacket over it. Since winter time is really cold this time, this lady is wearing a scarf and a sweater and doing her job sincerely in the early morning hours.

Weekend in Black and White 2014 : 1

I spotted this old scooter with a torn seat in battered condition in the station parking lot. Wonder who parked it, and for how long its been lying there?

December 2014 CDP Monthly Theme : WORKER

The City Daily Photo Theme for December is 'Worker'.

Workers pulling a heavily loaded wooden handcart with vegetables at the wholesale fruit and vegetable market known as the APMC (Agriculture Produce Market Committee) in Vashi.

APMC is the largest government regulated agriculture produce market in Asia. Over 25,000 handcart and headload workers (locally also called 'Hamaal'), whose work is to load and unload from 15 to 20 hrs, 6 days a week, are the lifeline of this market.
Though not all are seen with smiling faces as these two,
I salute the spirit of these workers.

This is also the comeback post of Mumbai Daily Snapshot after 5 years.
We will continue to post one photo a day and make an honest effort to show around our city.
