Tru,
Good to hear your Good News.
Been to Bombay,once.
Flying back to Dubai,U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) from a month vacation in Bangkok,Thailand I had a short layover.
When we were landing I noticed something lining the runway.After we touched down I could make it out.They were cardboard shelters right up to the edge of the tarmac.They were the luckey ones.Most were sleeping in the open.They were living/sleeping close enough that I could easily make out their faces even though it was at night.
Truely tragic.I doubt it is any better now,30 years later.
