Trivial Matters of Mumbai

Trivial Matters is a blog by a very young Mumbai photographer Akshay Mahajan. Akshay writes about his travels around Mumbai adding life, interest and fascination to Mumbai through his lens and his words. The blog has such lovely photographs, each image weaves a story around itself. And the stories make an interesting read.
Check out his photographs of Yazdani Bakery at Flora Fountain, The Dadar Phool (flower) market, the buzzing Ferry Wharf, Indian pop art, Calcutta Teahouse. These images convince me that amidst all the filth, poverty and chaos there is still beauty and innocence to feel. There is still an adventure and a treasure to hunt for.





Ahh..the humble beginnings of clay before it turned into Art. (Refer to my earlier post)

The Royal Touch

Tents were always a part of the royal Indian families. And wherever the royal members camped, overnight a barren piece of land would be completely transformed. with these royal, luxurious tents into temporary royal residences.

Imagine recreating this royal splendor for a wedding. These marquees are increasingly becoming sophisticated and beautiful with a whole range of beautiful fabrics, hand printed prints, colors and accessories to choose from. Whatever the occasion be it a religious traditional ceremony or hosting a party they add so much warmth and splendor to the occasion. So a traditional wedding, a mystic elegance, an Asian inspired theme, a Bollywood bonanza or the maharaja effect. Whats your theme?
