A Moveable Feast

Published by Yazad Jal November 1st, 2004 in Art / Literature

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast”

From A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

For me, Marine Drive in Bombay is a moveable feast. Wherever I’ve gone, Marine Drive has stayed with me.

What’s your moveable feast?

    Does anyone think its really pathetic that the nariman point feast has been eradicated for some *%&#&$’s idea of beautification? movable shouldn’t mean moved around according to the powerfuls whims and fancies….

    Just generally Bombay for me.

    I you want to drill it down to a particular place where I really get a sense of home is Colaba Causeway and the area surrounding it.

    Maybe cause I went to school there and college was not very far off. And I’ve been to almost every restaurant, shop and building there.

    Prabhadevi, Dadar. The pollution, the dirt, everything included!

    Nandan… Dude, whats this about Prabhadevi having pollution or dirt?!

  11. 11 Nandan Nov 5th, 2004 at 9:34 pm

    Well, as for pollution, the place where I lived (on the 12th floor) had a lot of soot coming from the factories nearby, for all the glorious views it offered. as for dirt, ever tried going anywhere near the Dadar chowpatty/ worli koliwada? That too, was pretty close to my house.

    Nandan, which plumes of smoke are you referring to in Prabhadevi? The only chimneys in the vicinity no longer spew smoke except for occasional cleaning which is rare. They used to regularly spew plumes of smoke, but many years back, my dad corresponded with the then Environment minister and got the polluting units to stop it.

    Ditto Gaurav. Jaisalmer for me too.
