About the book

Sooni Taraporevala’s arresting photographs, cutting across class and community lines, are an insider’s affectionate view of the city she considers home. Capturing life in Bombay/Mumbai from 1977 to the present day, the images – complex and intimate, quirky and quotidian – celebrate the odd and everyday character of a city as its shape shifted over four decades. With illuminating write-ups by Pico Iyer and Salman Rushdie, as well as a candid conversation between Taraporevala and Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, the works in this book are a significant, original contribution to the social history of one of India’s most diverse cities..
