Slumdog millionaire
Posted by Rishi on May 3, 2009
These are pictures I took on 19th March 09.
Stones throw from the corporate glitz and record land deals of Bandra Kurla Complex. Hadnt watched Slumdog Millionnaire then or now as I upload this. Cannot help wondering how many people employed at BKC must have seen the movie but not the reality of Kherwadi just next to them.
In the first picture I would like to meet the school boy sometime.
These pictures were taken during low tide at around 2 pm when the tide was such -http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/locations/658.html?y=2009&m=3&d=19
Cannot imagine what the situation must be in a 4m + tide.

It’s heartbreaking to see these pictures and imagine the horrifying conditions in which these people live. I guess one of the main problems is the population, especially in the poor-class. India really needs strong leaders who takes bold steps to restore the value & quality of life…
