Five years ago, together with my friend Tomek, I had a chance to be guided by local hooligans through Mumbai slums. The boys showed us a hidden side of this city. The lesson I took this day was that people are everywhere the same, only circumstances are different. And the smile of the girl below stays in my mind forever.
