Since I was born, I have been living in Bandra. For me Bandra has always been about community and friendships.
The reason I believe Bandra is so special is because it’s one interconnected unit, no place takes longer than 20-30 minutes to reach (and this is primarily on a bad traffic day) and that really encourages you to socialize and be in touch with your friends & neighbors. When I had to give my Café – Yogisattva, a brick and mortar space, I knew there was no other option than Bandra because this community of people is very receptive towards trying new foods and concepts. The love and appreciation I have received over the years as a Chef & Entrepreneur is something I don’t take for granted and I am very grateful for. One stand out memory of Bandra is when the 26th July floods happened, the very next day people were on the road feeding all those who’d lost homes overnight with food and water and provided shelter to animals. I think as a proud resident of Bandra, I have always felt included, involved and most importantly loved. Bandra is and will always be my home.

Our home has stood at Bandstand for a 102 years.

My great-grandfather migrated to Bandra from Bharuch, and after living in Gandhy Villa (now Sea Queen), he built Kekee Manzil—the home that was named after my father, Kekoo Gandhy.

Kekoo Gandhy was the first frame-maker in India, and went on to become one of the earliest art dealers, starting Gallery Chemould, at the Jehangir Art Gallery, in Kala Ghoda. Kekoo and his wife Khorshed are often referred to as the first family of Modern Indian Art. Kekoo lived and breathed art. He dreamt of modern art museums, and of converting Jinnah House to an art house, and of converting Villa Vienna (now Mannat) into a public library. His dreams were many!—but his constant reality was to be an environmental policeman when it came to Bandra. He fought big fights—like those against hotel lobbies. He tried his best to stop hotels at Landsend, knowing what they would do to that narrow strip of land (he lost that battle). And he tried his best to preserve Bandra Fort from being desiccated (he won to some extent.) Several years ago, when the garden, now named Nathani Gardens, was being taken over by builders, he managed to salvage that piece of land.

Today one is grateful that we have that small garden, which has become meaningful to meaning—including an old gang of Parsees who would converge in the evenings there, for years and years. In my own case, I remember the wall where the park ended, facing the sea, where we would sit every evening with friends gathering.

Today I miss Kekoo, not just as my father who drove us mad, because he loved the world around him, but I miss him because he would still be the constant vigil!

-Shireen Gandhi
