Dateline Mumbai - The Dharavi Slum:

"I was awaken this morning by a rat crawling over me as is usually the case these days. The cardboard that replaced the rusted out tin for our walls isn't doing much to stop the rats or mice. Yesterday, I turned 9, but birthdays are just another day, and the family has to eat, so it's off to pick rags again. Maybe I'll find a rupee in the garbage and we can buy some fresh water. It's been almost two days since we could get any. We couldn't afford firewood to boil it, so I hope we don't get sick again. The sore on my arm is looking a little better. After the burn I got from the open fire a few weeks ago, I think it got infected. We don't have any soap, and like I said, the water is pretty scarce. Maybe tonight we can buy some food. If we can scavenge enough today. We'll see."

Stop crying you baby, I could only hope to have an evening that good. If you don't buck your shit up life is going to fuck you up.

Should have been after mine....
