Adventure
Mystery Package
Maria often sits at her window sill waiting for something. She never knows what but feels like life is just a waiting game. Maria doesn’t have many close friends and often ends up alone and isolated from most of the world. Maria’s parents want her to venture out but instead she often ends up sitting in front of the window sill. Maria is a good soul, one who does for others and one who cares for everyone. She seems to be waiting for something though so her parents keep encouraging her to venture out and be more of a people person. Every time Maria has ventured out it has ended with turmoil. She once went to a teen club with friends that ended in a shooting with 3 of her classmates dead. Maria once went out to a play and somehow a flesh eating bacteria infected the dancers. Maria has always seen the positive in tragedy and has always wanted the best for all. One day from her window she sees a drone coming near her home. The drone is carrying a package. Maria watches as the package is gently dropped on her doorstep, then she runs downstairs.

Boxed In.
While living in the city was an adjustment, I was optimistic that my opportunities were growing with each passing day. I awoke routinely with half a stretch before pressing myself against the wooden cubby my bed had been slotted into. Shimming down the half-staircase, a brilliant heat radiated across my face.

The upside down world
Is imagination not a most wonderful thing? I so love fairy tales with happy endings. So too the stories of selflessness, kindness and the strength of will of the heroes in the heart wrenching, touching, daring, dramatical and swash buckling adventures, filled with imaginary fabled debonair gents and chic ladies.

Eli's Project
Rashmi Dube was going to work. Like a billion other 26 yr old men all over the world at 6 AM. But most men didn't have to try and commute via an open-air rickety train alongside a couple of thousand people. Women holding children, men holding huge bags of garbage, and even a woman holding a chicken under one arm. This was a combo of a New York City subway and every rickety bus flying through a jungle in South America. This was the dirty side of Mumbai, India. The side the tourists never saw. Mumbai was a city divided. There was the downtown district, with so much to see and do there. Everything from Museums, Art galleries, and Ancient Temples, to booming nightclubs and Bollywood. And then there was Dharavi.
