12th August 2008 :: Even people live insides pipes in this town

When you look at these tiny plants sharing space with fungus and moss in a small pipe in the wall of a building, you wonder what the chances of its survival are. Does the same question come to mind when you see people living inside pipes in some movies made in the 70s and 80s, specially the parallel cinema. I had seen that only in movies till I moved to Bombay and witnessed it in real life. In all cities and towns, you can find people living in conditions that can barely be called human but only in Bombay you can see how low the levels of “acceptability” can get for squatting.
