Ordinary Mumbaikars (aged 4-60) come together one busy Sunday evening for the pure joy of dancing. The historic CST station blares ‘Rang De Basanti’ on their speakers while surprised train commuters rush to see whats going on.

A while ago I got back from baking cakes with Amanda (formerly known as Amanderp but now known as Broda?? In my opinion Amanderp > Broda #ifyourewithmeraiseyourhand) after an hour and half long dinner with her and I’m just in a WHEE!...
