The "city within the city" unveiled....

Through my walks along Shivajinagar, I realized that the place has a life of its own and the energy of the place is unique. A walk through the place is like travelling back in time on a time machine. The place has an old world charm and has retained its ethnicity and culture. The place however has a lot more to offer than what meets the eye.  Each roads, lanes, by-lanes whisper a different story. Each street has a different characteristic, each house, different history, every corner, every turning point, anew experience . Its amazing how so much of diversity co-exist in the place so harmoniously. We intend to bring out those hidden stories of the families, places that has been buried deep inside the heart of the “city within a city”, Shivajinagar.

Since Shivjinagar is primarily a hub of businessmen, within the bustling crowd, one will notice how people value time in this place, every second counts. However even then people are kind, considerate and friendly enough to leave their work and help anyone in need, be it an outsider or insider.

The place is an interesting place to walk. It’s a photographer’s delight! Its amazing to see so many things happing at one place in one time! Besides you get amazing food and cheap shopping places. There is nothing in the world that you can’t find in Shivajinagar. The locals hence say that even at 2 am in the night if you need something you will find it right there. Also, I never felt safer to roam about in a stranger city all by myself. Hostility is out of question!

We intend to make a newspaper show casing the various stories and facts that we can gather about the place. The stories will be more precisely about the people and their lives.
