When i think of M'bai, one image that vividly comes to my mind is the traffig signal at chincholi bunder ( funny name for the most important place in Malad-W). There is the chai wala, the pan shop, the lounge bars, all in 100mts around it.
One person who stands out is the man who sells cleaning cloth at the signal. He is there in rain, hot sun and at all times. He sells with dignity and bearing. I always think how much would he earn at end of day, 400 Rs or at most 500 Rs. And what goes on through his mind when he sees people spending that much, without batting a eyelid, on one drink in the lounge bar just across.Is he angry? frustrated?annoyed? don't know.
The difference in money is so vast in Mumbai that it would make ur mind numb.One hand you have the society watchmen who earns 3000/-PM and there are people in same society who blow that much on one pizza orgy.What goes on these people minds? I always ponder. Just think a while and look at their eyes, they took have dreams, hopes for their kids. We need to do our bit to make them happy, but how?each one has to find thier answer.
