There’s a real wall. And an imaginary wall. There’s a wall which separates 1-bedroom from the kitchen and the hall. There’s a compound wall which makes a 3-storey building look smaller than a 100-storey tower that’s tall. There’s an upmarket wall between an iconic Cuffe Parade and the humble Virar chawl. There are many walls within a 5-BHK Peddar Road apartment, and a single wall in a tenement in the far-flung suburbs where people crawl. There are walls everywhere: in the mind, families, homes, roads, public transport, offices, institutions, communities, nations, religion, region, caste, class, languages, gender, law, status, one-upmanship, convenience and dominance. There was a Berlin Wall. There is a Chinese wall. And there might soon be a Mexican wall. All walls have a reason; a few also come up post the electoral season. Bole toh United, States will stand, divided USA will fall; every outsider ain’t an alien, Trump ya mate, how can one size fit all?! #WallsEndBridges
