and rivers. Wherever they find food, they

pitch their tents that become transit homes. Children grow up in them, becoming partners in survival. And

survival in Seemapuri means rag-picking. Through the years, it has acquired the proportions of a fine art.

Garbage to them is gold. It is their daily bread, a roof over their heads, even if it is a leaking roof. But for a

child it is even more.
