At the age of six, Esther first learned about the city of Calcutta through a comic book about Mother Teresa. This city is so cramped that each person only has nearly 1 square meter to live. In my mind, I see an image of a large city like a chessboard with 30x30 squares drawn straight on the ground. Every square is filled with human footprints. At that time, Esther did not know what kind of relationship she would have with that land.

Finally, at the age of twenty-four, while a student at MIT, Esther actually set foot in Calcutta. On the way into the city, she was briefly disappointed by what she saw through the taxi window. Empty space is everywhere - trees, grass, empty sidewalks. Where are all the miserable people vividly drawn in that comic? Where have they gone?

At six years old, Abhijit already knew where poor people lived. They live in dilapidated houses behind my house in Calcutta. It seems like children from poor families always have plenty of time to play and do whatever they want. Every time he played marbles, Abhijit's marbles would end up in the pockets of poor children's ragged shorts. Abhijit was extremely jealous.
