I had called Simpleji a few weeks back , she told me she was in hospital in great pain but would get back to me , we were working on a project..that was her baby.
Simple Kapadia passed away yesterday..due to cardiac arrest..I offer my condolences to Dimpleji and the bereaved family..and her assistant Shefali too.
My poem as a tribute to her soul
good bye dear friend
you fought bravely
till the end
the pain
the hospital visits
you did not bow or bend
your indomitable spirit
of survival lives on
with the Maker
in heaven it blends
a sister like dimple
godsend
who stood by you
fighting valiantly
the time
with you
she spent
healing your soul
preparing you
for the final journey
like a mother
she did tend
yes on his mercy
we all depend

Marziya Shakir And Her School Bag
100,766 items / 630,476 views
Marziya came to my shop in the evening and does not let go off her school bag and the water bottle..these two items are part of her new personality.. and her childs soul.
She enjoys my new shop , as it has a very spacious compound and she loves running around.
She was with me till I shut shop and returned home .. I bought her some snacks to take to school next morning..but she was hell bent on having it by hook or by crook..

Fuck Shoes
100,763 items / 630,256 views
Shoes from every production house lands up here on Bandra Hill Road , next to the Tata Agiary, this must be the only place that sells second hand shoes boots for ladies and gents and he has a flourishing business , among designers too , when an aged footwear is required for their client.
But larger than this and more famous than this is Dedh Gully at Kamatipura next to Hijra Gully No 1 .. the business starts at 1am and gets over by the wee hours of dawn , totally crowded on Friday ,,, and close by is the Kamatipura Flea Market ..
All the shoes stolen from Mosques and other religious functions find their way here , refurbished and sold , you can get any pair Bally ,Armani you name it they have it..
As I walk barefeet I never had the craze for this quintessential shoe plaza of the streets..you get some original army boots here , imported ones and local ones.
The kids make a beeline for this place .. an extension of this place is at Chimna Butcher Chor Bazar , but only a few stores remain..
During the making of Eena Meena Deeka a flm by David Dhawan produced by Nitin Manmohan of Neha Arts ..we needed to give the crowds only a single shoe , I got most of my stuff here..
Once upon a time I wore a black shoe and a white shoe as a fashion statement..but than my friend at Buzznet Debbie gave me a mantra .. that I follow Fuck Shoes..
And I have hardly used foul words ever since I joined Facebook..my pedestrian poem's too have tamed down.I have become more lenient towards adding friends on Facebook..
This Hill Road shoe stall is run by a couple and the kids chip in too.. dont miss this place close to the road that enters Chinchpokli Bandra from Bandra Hill Road.
