Thanks Tom & Rod. I am constantly seeing these sights in Mumbai but am still not immune to them. I see such extreme contrasts. This guy above is obviously a drug addict and the one before mentally challenged. Then I see the families in the shanties where some of the children are getting dressed to go to school and others are just busy playing. There are colour TVs in most but no toilets. There is not enough space to express myself here but usually my thoughts are on what keeps them ticking - Debi

Stark and sad, not beautiful nor should it be. Quite a powerful socio-economic and psychological portrait. -tv
