As the national anthem pealed across the city, and the tricolour fluttered in the January 26 wind, some 15 like-minded citizens came together to form the outfit, Let's Feed Mumbai. Their cause was to provide one square meal to the needy every single day.

One meal

"We began providing one afternoon meal on Republic Day, and we have not stopped since," said Anita Shetty of Let's Feed Mumbai. The group whose philosophy is 'annadaan is the greatest daan' started their initiative at Holy Cross Chowk at Premier Road in Kurla West, "And we are still there, months down the road," said Anita with a hint of pride. "Most of us live in Kurla, so we know the area best. We thought why not begin from home, literally?" said Anita.
