A Bandra Woman Recreated This Iconic World War II Photo Because the BMC Keeps Messing Up the Roads in Mumbai

Genesia Alves lives in Bandra, and so have her mother and grandmother and great-grandmother. She recently got so fed up with BMC constantly digging up roads and leaving places looking like sites of post-apocalyptic destruction that she decided to take this kind of hilarious photo, a recreation of a famous photo taken in the United Kingdom of a woman drinking tea on a pile of rubble in the aftermath of the Blitz during World War II.

Alves told the Mumbai Mirror that the photo is in the true spirit of Bandra humour. A quick look through the comments also reveals that she’s wearing Bata school shoes painted blue by her daughter. 🙂
