An expedition to this overwhelming slum area elicits upsurge of emotions. It is extremely thrilling to tramp along the unceasing stretch of narrow lanes and sewers. Then there are dioramas of mazy paths packed with huts; poverty stricken dwellers; colour television and cooking gas even in the tiniest of houses that evoke awe and thrill at the same time. More than just a slum area, it is an enlightening place where you realise the true value of garbage and wideness of small scale industries that offer living to dwellers.
