'They really work hard there and after six months or a year, they come home. Whatever they dream of and can afford, they bring back in these enormous packed rolls (ghataris). Their baggage represents the pride of going abroad and taking money and foreign goods back to their families, but it also means sharing rooms with the of twelve other Indians in overcrowded conditions without their families; often the underpaid underbelly of the rich growth that defines the modern metropolis.'
