ReplyDeleteThis is quite surprising and shocking. In a society which shies away from the very mention of "slums", it is motivating to see the society's views challenged.

ReplyDeleteYes it is motivating infact Dharavi, Asia's largest slum, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai and that is shocking to see a slum at the center of a city.
And its the only place being shabby people visit their to see the conditions of families who try to sustain there. I think these kind of journey makes people not only more informative but an experience of knowing other's feeling.
