"We rarely realise the importance of the city we live in and how much it manifests within us, until we stay away from it. At a time of crisis, the feeling is heightened. I realise that the city itself has been as much home to us as the four walls inside which I am trapped right now. By a city, I mean its streets, its noisy markets, crowded stations, the buildings both, old and new, its parks of laughter and joy and most importantly, its people. A city without its people is no city at all. Our home stands empty and desolate right now. Even the introvert in me longs to step out in the crowds and be amidst my people. Colaba, for me, is one such place in Bombay. I have this map in an attempt to translate a city that has not just been a place for me, but home, an emotion."
