I have been busy behind the lens and talking to the "sadak chaaps" .. who are quite pleased to pose for a snap - it seems to be the bright spot in their otherwise monotonous day!
... 'cause the scenes of street life surrounding them that motivate me to step out of my air-conditioned comfort to start clicking hold no interest element for them; what does bring a smile to their faces and of those watching on is the 'aunty' who jumps out of her car to talk to the hard-working 'mumbaikar' on the road !!
Before I go onto telling stories of these amazing Indians who make a living off the streets; I would like to share an article which featured in the September 24th edition of DNA
"Montek's Indian about town, he spends a whopping Rs 57/- daily ...."
And so he is NOT POOR??!

I am in utter shock and disbelief (like the gajra seller Tanaji Pawar) at the Planning commission's definition of "poor"
