The Unknown Messiahs of Mumbai




He was the only guy who represented the BMC's efforts to clear the water logging in Bandra Reclamation.

He was managing 4 drain outlets alone, removing all garbage that may stop the flow of water.

He had no specialised equipment, no protective gear, even the raincoat was his own.

He was hungry and sarcastically said, "Madarchod (Mother Fckrs)!, nobody has even enquired if I need food."

I offered him the milk that I was carrying, he politely refused.

He is one of those unknown faces of Mumbai that keeps Mumbai going.
