Tears of joy...
Date: February 01, 2012
Tears of joy welled my eyes, to see the CityMakers (homeless citizens) families: children, youth, women , men, elderly ... elated to sleep peacefully in a shelter. A shelter that we created / crafted , by involving the CityMakers (CMs) themselves. A roof and walls – all of canvas, and it became a home.

Urban Homeless
Date: January 12, 2012
Shekhar Sahni ran away from his parents in Bihar after being repeatedly hit by his mother at the age of 17. He came to Delhi with dreams of becoming an actor and joined the prestigious National School of Drama. He casually experimented with drugs with friends and, before he knew it, he became addicted. He soon dropped out of college and had barely any money or a place to live in. Four months ago, he moved into a night shelter set up by the government and run by a non-governmental organization, the Indo-Global Social Service Society.
