Living the Mobile way...


The other day i happened to be at a bus stop near Santacruz signal in the evening. There was a couple and their child who were sitting on the road behind the bus stop. The woman was cooking food in the open by lighting wood and papers. I cannot even call them slum dwellers as there was basically nothing around them for cover. That's when i seen the husband speaking on the cell phone and then passing on to his wife. It looked really strange and people at the bus stop definitely gave them a glance or two. Sensex crossing the 18k mark and all doesn't make much sense to me. Don’t know if i can even say India Shining or whatever makes a difference to this road side family. Really can’t understand how these guys afford a cell phone when their lives itself is MOBILE living on different streets of Mumbai every day…
