I was invited by my dear friend Raju Langewal treasurer of Lal Bagh Chya Raja Pandal ,for the inaugural Press Conference , heart to heart I knew it was sheer impossible to be there as I was stuck in Versova than Veera Desai Road for a very long time , it was 5 pm when I reached Bandra at Bandra no taxi driver was willing to go to Lal Bagh because of the continuous heavy rains and water logging, , I pleaded to a Muslim driver I told him if it is flooded he could drop me on the way side I had to be there .. he looked at me I was wearing my Muslim Karakul cap, he said he would take a chance, and when I reached Lal Bagh I gave him Rs 50 on top of his fare ..
To my luck it turned out the press conference was at 8 pm..I was barefeet , and I met an American photographer Arriane , she too had seen the media vans and come in she was far too excited ..
Like last year I again broke my fast at the Pandal dear friend Pratik Koli bought me some sugar with which I broke my fast and later I got wafers and a batatawada and some cold curds..
There was too much commotion , rush but I shot the Lord as he appeared to me on my camera consciousness ..And I present him to all of you ..
