"Not many people know that my father had designed the Old Woman's Shoe. But that's just how he was, understated and self-effacing," said Zavera Banaji, daughter of late prof Soli Arceivala, who passed away at 91 on November 12 in Mumbai, as repairs on the iconic structure at Kamala Nehru Park at Malabar Hill continue. Inspired by a Mother Goose nursery rhyme, the Shoe is sheathed in a green covering, as labourers work on fixing the damage it sustained after a lightning strike. After all, nothing better than a polished, as-good-as-new Shoe to give a fitting tribute to its late creator.
