“With buying land, or a home, it’s always about falling in love at first sight,” says the homeowner. “I’m a typical guy from Mumbai, and very used to walls,” so when he came upon this plot just about two kilometres from the Ulhas River, he promptly fell in love: “The mango trees, the abundant sunlight and the sound of the river nearby made it happen.” The homeowner–who prefers to remain unnamed—had also been looking to expand his family, but not necessarily with human members. “This space has given us three cows, five roosters and several other birds that love flocking here,” he says happily.
