  • Summary

  • The name Mani has several meanings in Urdu, Islam, India. In this story I use the Sanskrit meaning which is Jewel.

    Mani was indeed his Mothers Jewel and her only son and carer.

    In this short story we have an insight into the world of abject poverty and a daily struggle to survive, living in the slums of India.

    When I was writing this I remembered a brilliant book by Katherine Boo called Behind the Beautiful Forever. I highly recommend this as an honest insight into life in the Mumbai slums.
