My Aunty's one room Mumbai apartment where she has lived for 55 years in Bombay, Maharashtra, India.

✓ When I was younger and before I had even been to India, my Mother used to tell me that her sister (my Aunty) lived in a one bedroom flat in Bombay. To be honest (and with regret) it did not mean a lot to me then as I had not yet met or seen my Aunty (Masi).
The first time that I met Masi and saw her one room flat was in 1999 and I was invited to stay over. I stayed for 5 nights along with her son and his wife (Bhabhi), it was a very humbling experience and one that I still remember to this day.
Apart from the outside communal toilets, every single aspect of living is done in this one bedroom flat, be it the:
* Morning bathing - with a bucket bath.
* Brushing teeth
* Prayers
* Cooking.
* Eating breakfast, lunch or dinner.
* Washing clothes
* Washing up of cutlery
* Ironing
* Working from home (sewing)
* Watching TV
* Socialising
* Storage of clothes, dry foods, work materials
* Storing of cooking & eating utensils such as pots, pans & plates
* Space for a fridge / freezer
* Space for a sewing machine
* Space for a wardrobe
* Sleeping & all the required bedding.
What makes it even more astonishing is that the actual room is quite tiny in itself. This is tiny house living and a reality for a large proportion of Mumbaiites.
A Big shout out to everyone who reads the description.....you know we love you - you make our description writing efforts worthwhile ;-)
My Aunty has suffered a lot in her life; she lost her husband at an young age and then her son passed away several years ago. (The son was the breadwinner in the family).
My Aunty and her daughter-in-law now carry out some low paid sewing machine work from their flat.
Having visited her again in 2012 & 2017 I was even more humbled when I met my Masi and saw her flat again largely because of my maturity and life experiences here in the U.K.
I humble myself when I think of my Aunty, May God Bless my Masi and her family.

So many people around the world are happy and content with so much less than I’ve ever had. I really have nothing to complain about. It’s amazing how much your aunt appreciates her tiny home and how well she takes care of it. I should be more grateful for what I have and will from now on after seeing this video. Thanks for sharing this with all of us!

One good thing , I got educated, moved to Banglore I for sure lead a very good life now.. but frankly , mumbai days were the best days of my life, inspite of all odds we were the happiest kids , we had friends the warmth and Mumbaites I tell you are best ! They are very helpful, spirited...! I love Mumbai! Money can bring comfort but Happiness is being contented with what you have..

Later he got shifted to my place...we got married within 6 months....and spent our beautiful days together in that cozy small house. There was no other option than being together., sitting beside each other every time, lying nearby, watching TV together bcoz the room was small. Talking & talking, so much of togetherness.... Later after 3 years we got shifted to 3bhk apartment. Now i give lots of privacy to my husband, may be bcoz of my huge house. But he realised & remembers how important our small house was, how small things were so important....it was a sheer love & affection.

    Just to clarify a few things please; I made the video because on the few occasions that I've met my Aunty & her family; it has always made a deep impression on me as well as humbled me, so for that reason I wanted to share the video. At the point of writing this, my Aunty is 77 years old. Everything for everyday living is contained within this one room, but the toilets are away from the room and are shared facilities with other residents in the flat. Also a very special Big Thank you to each and everyone of you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts on how the video has touched a nerve with you or moved you to comment your feelings, I do read every single comment made and I truly find them very thought provoking even the seemingly negative comments. To the few people who are making negative and presumptious comments towards me, my Mother and my Family, i can say that your comments in fact say a lot about you without you even realising it. My own father sadly passed away 9 days before my 4th birthday; which meant that my Mother had to work at three jobs because she didn't want to lose our family home, one of the work my mother did was as a seamstress on a sewing machine, and the work gave her neck and back problems which affect her to this day (there is more but I won't go on), all I know is that "Who God Bless, No Man Can Curse". Other people have commented on my accent; to clarify I don't have a fake Gujarati or English accent, I was born in London and the majority of the Gujarati that I speak was learnt mostly from my Grandparents whilst at home, I find it a real privilege to be able speak (my mother tongue) Gujarati especially when I've spoken it in the UK or anytime in Gujarat or India (speaking Gujarati is a real honour for me especially when i notice that the mother tongue tends to get lost or forgotten with the 2nd born Asian generation outside of india). I feel that my Aunty has had a hard life in that she lost her husband at an young age and then her son passed away several years ago. (The son was the breadwinner in the family). My Aunty and her daughter-in-law now carry out some low paid sewing machine work from the flat. To the people commenting about high property values in Mumbai, bear in mind that it's not always all about the value of property especially if you're not thinking of selling or moving somewhere else, what matters more is the sense of community where you live; such as having good neighbours and of course knowing who your neighbours are + the quality of your life. Even though the video views are now well over 7 million views; the earnings are not as spectacular or astronomical (as some people seem to perhaps be thinking & commenting). The earnings from the video are certainly not even close enough to allow me to buy my Aunty a new house or flat, be it in Mumbai, elsewhere in India or London (even though I dearly wish it was so). In the past my Mother and I have on some occasional instances given small cash gifts to my Aunty (stretching to the extent of what we could afford and in the manner that a sister and nephew would) the amounts given were not a lot and it's not a big deal because it's what family do.......don't they? Yes the video has gained a lot of views, so I am without a shadow of doubt obliged to give a bit more of a cash gift to my Aunty and Bhabhi when I next visit India if not sooner. Some people have formed an opinion that because my family & I live in London that life must be a bed of roses and very easy. If you look closely at my blogs you'll notice that most of the food places I visit are affordable places for the ordinary man on the street; simply because I myself am an ordinary man on the street not really wanting or being able to afford to eat at high end expensive places. Believe me when I say my family's life is not as luxurious as some people seem to be thinking (or be commenting). The cost of living is eye-wateringly high in London; utilities bills are never ending and high........in case you're wondering; I even pay tax on my KZread income. I have set up a fundraiser for my Aunty, here is the link if you would like to donate any amount that you wish: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mumbai-aunty-fundraiser?PmBjrmXgr I would like to be able to give her the money raised and be able to simply say to her: "Please do what you wish with it to make your life a bit easier". All of the money raised from the fundraiser will go to her & Bhabhi, (I give my absolute guarantee and word of honour on this). May God Bless my Aunty (Masi), Bhabhi and her family.
