Vivek Trivedi

  A Shocking Saturday Revelation It was an ordinary Saturday evening with friends when the conversation took a troubling turn. One friend mentioned his worker from the Borivali-Dahisar slum wouldn't be coming to work the next day. The reason? "Congress rally hai," he explained. When pressed further, the worker confessed he didn't support the party but would attend anyway—Congress was offering ₹1000 per person plus two bottles of alcohol. This wasn't an isolated incident. In my own area, we've heard similar stories where Congress representatives visit homes offering ₹5000 per vote—half paid upfront, half after "Bhai," a local leader in Malad West, wins the election.

We saw Bombay become Mumbai , and the Bombay Municipal Corporation transform into the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) — now touted as the richest municipal body in India. As a  Mumbaikar for over 40 years , I’ve witnessed all shades of the BMC — from its rare acts of efficiency to its deep-seated  corruption. Despite having a budget larger than several small Indian states, Mumbai continues to struggle with potholes, flooding, encroachments, and apathy. And while our city welcomes everyone — from every part of Bharat and the world — those of us whose roots run deep are often labelled “Gujju,” “Gandiya,” or told to “go back to Gujarat.” But this is our home.   And watching it be systematically eroded by a can...

It holds profound spiritual significance, astrological relevance, and aligns with the principles of Vastu, deeply rooted in ancient Indian traditions.
