http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/30591 As Mumbai’s buildings reach higher into the skies, indicative of growth, so does the cost of living. Sandwiched between such affluence, for the commoner who is a majority, growth – neither vertical nor horizontal – is possible. Cramped for space, the outdoors are of use for cooking, bathing and resting, for him the line that delineates the public and the private is ever so thin that it is hardly visible. Privacy, or the lack of it, is not by design but by default. But the Mumbai man at the lower end of the social spectrum is a resilient one. For him, what the high-rise casts is not shadow, but shade. A sliver of sunshine is a sliver of hope. With dreams and desires, he toils and perseveres, hoping for a better tomorrow. Till then, life goes on, with its share of tears and cheers. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/30066/amirth3_small.jpg http://www.lightstalkers.org/Amirtharaj
