Ever wondered how the not-so-privileged
families manage to stick together inside an 8x8feet room? Calling this
kind of accommodation inconvenient is actually an understatement. Such
little houses include the kitchen as well as the bathroom with no
question of a bedroom. Everybody inside the house sleeps on the floor.
And there’s no dearth of similar style—for lack of a more suitable
word—of habitation in Mumbai. Of course, it’s a matter of choice for
an individual whether s/he wants to stay back and fight for their space
in the city or go back to where they hail from. But still, everybody has
a relatable story to share. Like the family in the picture above. Here,
the husband runs a laundry service—with
considerable help from his housekeeping wife—while his two sons attend
nearby school. They all stay inside a room that’s barely 64 sq feet in
area. But the man of the family hopes to see better days ahead as he is
ensuring his kids get what he or his spouse couldn’t: education.
PS: Happy Universal Children's Day to you, too.
