Mumbai 1989 - photo tour of the city - full length video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2020
- This is a full-length video of my visit to Bombay (Mumbai) in 1989. It was my second visit to India, spending a couple of weeks traveling with HINDCO, and then going to Aravind Eye Hospital for the remainder of my visit. I guess all I can say is I was "speechless" - as they drove me around, everything was so fascinating, and so different from what I'm used to in the USA. My video camera became permanently perched on my shoulder. Technically, it was recorded in S-VHS, for better resolution than VHS, then copied onto my computer in AVI format, and finally, with minimal editing, made into a video using Final Cut Pro. It took almost all night to upload to RUclips. Hope you enjoy the history...... :-) (Sorry that I can't say more about where the various scenes were recorded.)
(Many of my photographs of different cities in India can be found at "m.smugmum.com" - there are many more yet to be added. I also have video of other cities, and of Aravind Eye Hospital over the past 30 or so years.)
Two fellows who worked at "HINDCO" drove me all around Bombay, as I recorded what I was seeing with a S-VHS camcorder, which was the highest resolution I could afford to record in. Hope everyone enjoys it.
If anyone knows how I can contact HINDCO, I would like to let them know the video is finally posted. All I have is the information on a company envelope: "HINDCO Corporation, "Shiv-e-numh", 205-A Dr. Annie Besant Road, Worli Naka, Bombay-400 018". I'd love to find an email address for them.

Thank you bhai - absolutely surreal to watch this and hear the sounds. Transports me on a time machine back there.
4:15 Sea Rock Sheraton. Sad to see it's gone now. Thanks for showing this.
@28:19 This was so heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your footage. It is of immense historical value.
Thank you - I still have digitized (but un-edited) video of Delhi, Madurai, and other locations. Glad you enjoyed it. Please share the link, so others can watch. Only 39 people have replied here.
28.19 it feels heartbreaking in present times but believe me as a child I've enjoyed such plays a lot..this roadside plays on Sundays were equal to RUclips reels in 2024!!! also snake charmers plays...
Thank you Sir for uploading this video took me to the childhood memories I was just 2years old I still remember 1989 glims clearly...2-3 memories...But Present Tense is truth...Respect🙏
Sir, you were Vlogging even before it was cool. Respect. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you Mike bhai for showcasing the true essence of india.
the video quality of the camera is so vivid and crisp. i am pretty amazed how they got really good quality camera's back in late 80's. I remember my cousin came from USA and they got handy video recoder which records same as this one back in 1994.(I think bit more clear than this one, obviously new tech but still amazed)
Thank You for uploading. Took me back in Time !
Thank u sir....
As u promised us to uplaod the Video....
U fulfiled it.
mike this was amazing
old school cameras
better than today's
cameras.👍
I bought the S-VHS video camera especially for this trip. It was that, or ED-Beta. They're all obsolete nowadays, replaced by digital. I took video in other cities too - need to get those posted here.
😮 the classic vibe
😓Mumbai was peaceful at that time . I was in 7 standard in 89 . But as the early 90' s started Mumbai started to become crowded and in that the Ram mandir issue and after that the Bomb blast of 93 changed everything. Now Mumbai is worse compare to old. The young grenation will not agree to my view but it's a fact as 60 % of Mumbai is slums which makes it more worse. See the second Dharavi near the Airport. Talking about suburbs it's also crowded. People of Mumbai also are not good as compared to that time. ( Full cheating and Envy) Now it's only money that talks in Mumbai. 😓
It is worse and better at the same time but for different things.
It is result of our demographics and economic policies.
It's a shame people have to live like this.
I was few months old in 89. Bombay looks more or less same. Only exceptions are more people and tall buildings.
What about slums? Are they gone?
the poorest condition among them are gone...Dharavi is still there....
There is part of film which was cut, by you, from 9.07, which should show the Gate of Western Railway workshop. Can you upload that 10 sec part. I work in that workshop and had joined in 1989. Pl.
Sorry, but after viewing the video, the only things "cut" by me, in this longer version, were parts of the tape without useable video. Most likely I stopped the camera, then re-started later. There were some parts of the video where there was a problem of some sort, and the video wasn't useable. I found the "gap" you mention, but nothing was cut out deliberately in this longer version.
The video was originally recorded on S-VHS camcorder. The S-VHS tape was played many years later, sending the video through a "Pinnacle Movie Studio" box, which sent a digital signal to my computer, where I saved it in an AVI format, which I thought was the highest resolution format available. Some sections did not copy, possibly because the tape had been damaged - I couldn't afford a "Time Base Corrector" which would recover just about everything in th original, and turn it into fresh, accurate video. That's why you sometimes see very poor video recording at the top and bottom of the frame.
I still have the original S-VHS tape with the original recording, but I never could afford the equipment that did a "Time Base Correction".
Having said that, you may be in luck - my friends back then took me to a huge railroad yard where steam locomotives were serviced. Instead of video, I photographed everything with a high quality Leica film camera, and got many excellent photos of the engines and the staff working there. When I got back to the hotel I went to a photo shop, where the film was processed. They made me two copies of all my photos, one set that I now have in an album, preparing to digitize them and post them on my SmugMug Photo Gallery which you can access at "www.m.smugmug.com". The other set I brought back to the yard, and gave the photos to the workers there. If that is the part of the video that is missing, you will soon have 50 or so high quality photos of everything going on. I hope to do this in the next two weeks.
If I'm wrong, and there is additional video of what you're looking for, I'll upload that as a separate video, but if I had captured that video, and it wasn't defective or damaged, I would have already done so. 99.9% more likely is that the video was "cut" by me, as I was recording - perhaps to change the camera battery or something I've long since forgotten about.
I wander if someone watching this video finds his or her grandfather grand mother or some of his relative in this video
Great sir 👌
पहले का bombay अब का मुंबई में बहुत फर्क है
Nice video 👍😍
Hey!I am working on a documentary for Vice India, wanted to license some footage for a documentary. How can we get in touch with you?
Get back to me in two weeks. Leave an email for yourself here, but disguised not to look like an email, maybe replacing the "." with "ddoott".
do you have more? this was beautiful
Yes, lots more! Just need time to get it all organized and uploaded.
@@mikemyers2164 I was born in 1992 and brought up in Mumbai. Fast forward I'm in the US since last 6 years or so (Miami). I also saw some videos on your channel with that city so I presumed you're from here?
@@lodashnotebook5390 What was the mood of Mumbai during 26/11 attacks?
@@amolkhobaragade Quite different from how it is today. People were not so divided back then tbh. I guess it's pretty subjective
This man was lucky to be able to take his camera with him or else such things would disappear immediately and people like us would buy this cheaply from the chor bazar .
एसे लोगों का बॉम्बे से बाहर निकल ना मुश्किल था उस वक़्त 😂
Eu nasci em 10 de fevereiro de 1993, no distrito de Alwar, no estado de Rajasthan
Most people (almost all people) used VHS video cameras back then. I paid almost double to use S-VHS, a higher resolution camera that used special S-VHS tapes and captured wonderful colors and resolution. Nowadays of course, everything is digital. If I could have afforded it back then, I would have recorded in ED-Beta, Sony's even better video cameras - for $$$$$$.
I was born 27 05 1989
Did somebody saw Bentley?
Be ready for huge views
Thank you!
Which hotel was it where u stayed
I think I said the name of the Hotel at some point in the video, maybe near the beginning? That was 1989. Now it's 2020. All I remember about the hotel is what's in the video. :-)
@@MikeMyers00 true 😀
was it sun and sand?
The 1989 year is a golden era an I was born in same year 😊
Amazing keep going my friend !
