The way I shoot is more so a way of life; it’s not something that I do, it’s just something that I kinda breath. My name is Sunder Thadani and I am a Mumbai City Citizen since 1947. One of the first things that I truly loved to do was to use computer, mobile phone, and iPod and you know, that somewhat really pushed me to get into the Digital World. There definitely came a point where I had to transition and because I was not going to continue to use these electronic gadgets as a professional player. I realized that I could rather take that dedication that I had with the hobby and I could put it into my art and into my craft of information and knowledge. So yeah, all the eLearning that I take out on the streets and just in the world -- I shoot it on film, I shoot it with my gadgets, and I bring it back into here. I develop modules for learning, you know, I make contact sheets, and I archive it. Then, I just continue to just live with the work. I like to just like look at the pictures -- I put them on my wall, I put them in boxes that I will carry around with me. When you think about eLearning, it can be very passive. It is as you can take out your phone and you can just snap a photo. I think for me it’s like, how do you be there? How do you get outside of what you think you already know? In addition, that is what I am trying to do with my eLearning. I do not want to make images that already exist in the world; I want to create something new. You know, through who I am. It is definitely great to see my work in the Times or in other publications and for it to be exposed for other people to see. However, if anything, it also just made me realize that I just want to continue to work harder because I feel like I am really just getting started. You know, it’s all about my sensitivity as an Indian and as a person in the society and just trying to reflect what’s out there in the world into eLearning. Regards Sunder Thadani – 20170208.

Mumbai: (Vehicles) Spot e-challans for traffic offences are being implemented in Mumbai city. [1] The drawback is that the initiative forced software and other glitches, such as the tablet batter dying after about an hour of usage, forcing conps to go back to the station or chowki to recharge them; the screen not being readable in sunlight, and even spotty 3G connectivity. [2] The device works best with a smart card issued by RTO; manual input is time consuming, slowing down process when drivers show paper RC books, which RTOs are now issueing. Mumbai (Auto/Taxis): Auto/Taxi meters in Mumbai are being rigged and new help line has come on mobile no. 9869691666 [Available on WhatsApp]. The very fact that yet another government department is being forced to set up yet another helpline indicates that the existing mechanism is not working. Commuters are as angry with rogue drivers as they ar with government agencies not giving any redress. The legal metrology department, hopefully, will be more proactive that other agencies like cops and RTOs. Kind Regards! Sunder Thadani/

Mumbai, India: Government Railway Police (GRP) is introducing a new scheme for city stations to have "police mitra".

What is the scheme? It is a compiled database of food stall workers, shoeshine boys, coolies, and cabbies, present at every station, to act as "eyes and ears" of the police. The cops will train them on how to gather intelligence and spot suspicious activities as well as help the commuters trying to locate a police station. The tricky part will be to differentiate rogue cabbies from the others

Areas to be covered

.

At lease 3 to 4 mitras will be present on each of the 471 railway platform in the city. The have been armed with the GRP`s helpline Numbers

Mumbaikars: It seems that we, as a city, do not deserve the god things we get. Needing less than a month to reduce these trains to this state qualifies us for a half-of-shame entry. Officials should look at increasing the penalty for this crime- for this is nothing short of a crime -but we need to behave more responsibly and take pride in what we get to use. New Western Railway local coach cost= 42 crores per rake. Introduced on track - March 18, 2015. In service 2 -Expected in future =70. Within 15 days of introduction of these new rakes, one finds paan stains and trash on outside and inside of the coaches. Even Hand-Grips go missing. and trash is piling up. Shame to Mumbaikars, we have zero civil sense or nil national spirit or lack of culture. . Kind Regards. Sunder Thadani. 20150405
