While Shamim and Azhar have moved into a new 250 sq. ft. apartment in Santa Cruz West, Ali has refused to move out of the slum, saying that 2,500,000 rupees ($50,000) is not enough to buy a flat. "I wanted to live in Bandra, as it is near to Rubina's school and I don't want her to travel a lot to get to school every day. Can you get a flat in Bandra for that amount? I asked them...
