Mumbai is quick to absorb global ideas: Chandrima Pal

Propelled by the love for cities and living spaces, Chandrima Pal penned down 'At Home In Mumbai', a book dedicated entirely to people and properties in India's Financial Capital. Chandrima, who has herself lived in India's 'Maximum City' for over a decade, decodes her book in a chat with IBNS correspondent Sudipto Maity  

At home in the Maximum City

Filmmaker Basu Chatterjee in 1972 made  Piya Ka Ghar. The Jaya Bhaduri-Anil Dhawan starrer was the story of a reality check for a newly wed couple desperate for their moments of privacy as they live in a cramped room in a Mumbai chawl with the entire family. Journalist and writer Chandrima Pal's new book At Home in Mumbai (Harper Collins) is inspired by the never ending search of Mumbaikars- be it Shah Rukh Khan or a commoner- for a living space they can call a home in the Maximum City
