Abstract
This is a flâneur’s overview of life and art in Bombay of the 1960s and 1970s by film-maker Arun Khopkar, who participated in the literary and artistic scene of the time. The article maps the different creative worlds of these decades through the specific “nerve centres” and material locations of the city: Strand Bookstall, the textile mills, the dockyards, the Irani restaurants, and the speakeasies. It touches upon the interconnectedness of the city’s many art forms (literature, film, visual art, music) and delineates the pathways that intersect them. It weaves together the narrative of the city and its disparate cultural associations and locations, with an autobiographical account.
