Adi took us around Worli. He explained the history and the nuances of the society that live there, the challenges that they are facing and how they support one another. Adi has a great sense of humour and adventure and wonderful empathy with people. We visited a temple and were gifted bananas by the priest. We spoke to local people at the fish market including a group picture with the Koli ladies that run the show. We visited the fort which has been turned into a gym that helps youngsters by giving them a training regime. We spoke to the son of the guy that started the gym. Super interesting. The site is used as a location for Bollywood films. Thanks No Footprint for our second great tour. Shout out to KP for our first tour.
