We will call him S.

Being a practicing architect, it is very common for me when my clients ask  “can the bedroom be a little bigger, its just 15×12, or 13×11 to 16x 14 or 18 x 14 etc etc.

So when you visit a place of residence of 6 and find that the only habitable room in that house is 7ft x 9ft (roughly), it gives a sense of stark reality.

And to add that the family has 2 differently abled people too, apart from S.

S lives with his family of 6, in a tiny patch of land on the banks of Vembanad lake. He belongs to the fishermen community, and he got this land from his father.

One child having Cerebral Palsy, while his mom, is bedridden and don’t have any memory left, an unmarried sister, another senior citizen.

This house had waist-high water almost for a week in this Floods,, making it dangerous to live there as the walls are completely soaked, foundations have settled, with cracks in the wall.

We met with panchayath team, and locals, who have housed them now in a rented place nearby. The district administration will assist us in all the legal formalities, for the rebuild of this house.
