E ver thought a something micro like virus could keep us all locked up in our home's?No right, definitely there were ideology about bio-terrorism or bio-war but never took them seriously because who would do that and why would they do. Don't know is it a bio-war or any thing now but definitely this is something. We did ask for vacation during our regular hectic days but never thought God would take this so seriously and grant our wish. Irony is now we have our long when will it end don'no kinda a vacation we are not liking it , we do want to go back to our regular life. I guess that's LIFE. So how is everyone keeping up with their mental health and also physical health? It's been hard on me. Staying home for such a long time has not been easy on everyone. We all are dealing with anxiety, dilemma, no proper sleep schedule nor eating schedule. Our life's been shaken, this is getting hard on everyone in one way or the other. Maybe this is the time
WHY YOU MUST GO ON A TOUR OF DHARAVI SLUM! (it's not the negative, depressing place you'd expect).
In a city of over 20 million people, space is understandably at a premium in Mumbai. For the working class, daily life in Mumbai is commonly played out in what are called chawls -- multi level with single small rooms, which usually accommodate a whole family, often with a shared bathroom for each floor. Prices are ridiculously expensive, even more so than New York!
Dharavi, the teeming slum of one million souls,where as many as 18,000 people crowd into a single acre. It is routinely called "Asia's largest slum". Ask any long time resident - some families have been there for more than two to three generations, "how Dharavi came to be?" and they will say "we built it!"
I hope you guys are familiar with Dharavi from the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

You'd think that living in such an environment would be very restrictive but it's surprisingly the opposite (once you get used to the lack of space!).
