Kabootar Khana, a very famous place situated in the city of lights Mumbai, is a place where millions of people serve grains to innumerable pigeons. To our surprise, this place is maintained just by 3 people- Sohan( a 12 year old boy), his uncle and his elder brother. Sohan who looks after this place is a student whose family has been doing this work for the last 20 years. They immaculate the entire place, fill water in the small pond and spill the grains when required. Ever wondered why do they do such work ? For money ? Well no. When we went there to shoot our short film, we asked Soham if we could take some of his shots. The reply he gave me, made me understand his sheer dedication towards his work. He said ,''Haa. Lekin pehle mujhe kaam khatam karne do.'' His family works there because they immensely love doing that. They do not even care about the pigeons droppings.
It seems like Soham is alien to the concept of 'the day you find out what you love would be the last day of your work' as he has very much learned it from his mother's womb.
