Helloooo! First of all, I apologize for being offline for so long. I didn't intend to disappear like that without any proper explanation so even though there were reasons, perhaps it's all still not an excuse to being offline.
Life here, in Dharavi, isn't easy and sometimes we can't even afford proper internet facilities to interact with people. I wanted to be online, to be able to talk to everyone and help spread as much kindness as I can in hopes that maybe I'll at least be able to brighten up someone's day but things here kept making it difficult for me to do so.
First, there is work. I don't have the kind of life where I can stay easy and relax because I have to work alongside my father to cover for the expenses of my family and for that I had to take extra shifts at work. We sort and recycle plastic, so you can imagine that work takes up most of our day. Even with most people in my family working, we don't have enough money to cover for providing better medical facility to my terminally ill sister, so I had to take a break to focus on that and manage my work. Apart from that, Wifi at home is barely reliable so I couldn't use it for a long time. It certainly also affected my education in ways that I am ashamed of my progress in studies but I hope it'll all become better.
Still with all that, I missed everyone. Selfishly, being online is also a form of escape from the real world stress. But that's not the only reason why I am here. I genuinely missed everyone, missed everyone's interactions and conversations, all of your kind words and jokes that made my day better everytime. I missed being there for everyone as well and I once again sincerely apologize for not being there for all of you for the past few months as everyone had been there for me in their own special way. With that being said, I will try to be online more often if I can manage. I can't make any promises because situations here are worsening, but I will try. I hope this world becomes kind to all
