Humans of Bombay, a Facebook page, was started with this aspiration to bring out the extraordinary stories behind everyday lives. After being refused by many, an old lady agreed to talk and the page began. The journey began on Marine Drive when one Sunday in 2014, Karishma Mehta began her interviews. However, like Humans of New York, the team behind the Bombay page also decided to come out with a book with their stories and photographs last month. Despite being inspired by the Humans of New York page, Humans of Bombay stood apart in its character and style and the way it interviewed its subjects, delving into long back stories bring out a cultural essence that is uniquely Mumbai’s.
