139. TRAVELS IN INDIA. Kamathipura, Mumbai. A mundane scene, but it contains a lot of India. Cows and carters, which you see everywhere, but take a look at the narrow workshop in the background. All over India you will see people working in these tiny spaces. Welders, shoemakers, carpenters, machinists, tailors–you name it. Kamathipura has hundreds of them, making for a lot of noise and activity. Kama is also a famous red light district, and the ladies often set up right next to the workshops. Of course Indians are completely unfazed by this rather odd juxtaposition.
