#TIL about Avani, a welfare/ employment scheme for women introduced by the Maharashtra Government. The banner on this food truck parked near Khau Galli says that it is a part of Avani.

Baba's name suggests he was from Ishfahan in Iran. (Hazrat Baba Bahauddin Shah Asfahani)

This dargah is more than 3 centuries old. maps.app.goo.gl/MNRKHCwnBaLg... I am happy for the presence of #syncretic shrines in today's India. I didn't want to enter it because it was crowded but I did have some kickass lemon tea outside for only twelve rupees.

South Bombay has eateries named Mao, Lenin, Persian, Baghdadi, White House, etc.

Although I did have lemon soda. The chacha running the juice shop was super nice and kind.

I was tempted to eat at Khau Galli but I didn't. I saw a mickey mouse and his cousins scurrying around.

I walked up and down the Khau Galli (a sort of #food market street) and saw a Lenin Pav Bhaji stall. maps.app.goo.gl/MNRKHCwnBaLg... Pav bhaji was created because of exploitative working conditions in Mumbai's erstwhile textile mills. So, the name is, er, interesting.
