<p>My Sweet Home captures Okhla, a suburban colony in South Delhi, from the perspective of 20 children who live there. The children have written and created art about their homes, terraces, mosques, and the villages that their families come from, in a workshop conducted by the authors. The volume brings to light the many stories from this teeming, thriving corner of Delhi, often bypassed in common discourses on the city. My Sweet Home also tries to resolve the many misunderstandings that people have of the place as a Muslim ghetto, through the experiences of some of its younger residents. These stories and drawings not only reflect the relationships that the children have with their neighbourhood, but also prompt an intangible connection between the readeracross region, religion, nationality and this misunderstood, misrepresented neighbourhood</p>
