Once a resident of the humble BDD Chawl No. 31 in Worli, Bajrang Shankar Kale spent decades in a cramped 160 sq ft room with his family. Today, he proudly stands on the 37th floor of a gleaming 40-floor high-rise, after performing a puja in his brand new 500 sq ft self-contained apartment — a home he can finally call his own. For Kale and thousands like him, the transition from chawl to tower is not just a change of address but a transformation of lifestyle, dignity, and aspiration.
