Kharghar Hills - A land of scavengers
Behind the veneer of gentrified Navi Mumbai cobbled together is natural topography with heaps and bounds, mangroves and delta, all of which is cornered by the sea.

SCENE:1
Behind the veneer of gentrified Navi Mumbai cobbled together is natural topography with heaps and bounds, mangroves and delta, all of which is cornered by the sea.The ebbs and flows through the Raigad district swell like a bulges on a satin cloth. Upon which lay a powdery ash, devoid of its true colors. A master plan of the city created by renowned architect
SCENE:2
One could imagine Kharghar hills flouted with a picturesque background but all now covered in smog and dust. Infertile land lie with potential danger. Remnants of life now serve as an open fortress to the scavenger to examine;the king and the government with manufactured posts..Place frequented by children who play in neighbourhood fields.
SCENE:3
Some might consider this lawless place a mound of dead, and some could still see a life making a desperate attempt to spring up.
SCENE:4
In a world of cntrl+alt+dlt, this is a potential recycle bin. A place where introverted person can recluse by their oversize boulders under open sky and high winds. You could see people in stretching out, throwing pebbles, clicking selfie and making love.
SCENE:5
For 45 mins, a lady in white kept me fixated, feeding the crows and remnants of which provide the underbelly.Accompanied by the local dogs.I don’t think she’s consciously attempt to make everything fruitful and alive;it comes naturally like a ritual.When hope means feeding the scavengers or an attempt to turn decay to bloom. Resonating the two sides of cycle
SCENE:6
But, What if we upheave all the self-healing entities in the process of progress to the extent of non-return, leaving the land sterile— just a fortress of ash ruled by the people who thrive, differentiating and feeding on those less fortunate.
SCENE:7
No matter how cliche it sounds, but in the future when your son asks, 'What were you all doing when this happened?'. 'Sorry mate, we had a lot on our plate, and you know I am an introvert and don't bother myself with these social haphazard.' The kind of answer we will come up with?
SCENE:8
The narrative in the world today has turned askew, leading us towards the epidemic of disconnection, soon, which will create a deep rift in our social structure, the effects of which now have become more evident than ever. No matter how weird things turn out, there will always be two sides oscillated not by nature's laws but by human's greed and will.
