When I look from the seventh floor apartment of mine at Kochi city, this is what I am seeing every day, through one side of the apartment…the sight of the not so privileged. On one side we are busy with the glitter of the city, where as on the other side it is gutter. Kochi’s streets are crowded with BMWs, Audis, Range Rovers. To my surprise I could spot the new show room of  Porche (I think I got the spelling right:-) and at the same time when I get into the by lanes of the city, then like many other cities I can see the slums, people sleeping on the shop verandas, the overflowing gutters, the street children, heaps of garbages….Can we be happy just by ignoring it?.
