This picture makes me wonder. It was
taken near the Bandra slum in Mumbai in 2012. This girl; where is she now? I
would guess her to be young, on the brink between being a girl and being a
woman. A hard enough age to be in any case, but how much harder in a slum, an
area where they say women definitely shouldn’t be alone at night. Did she have
someone to protect her? Was someone there for her? What does the future have in
store for her? Does she even have a future? Maybe not. I don’t know if she is
even still alive. I don’t know anything about this girl, and it makes me
wonder.
