She danced with the crowd during the Zumba session, cheering and motivating participants. She said, “When we were growing up, there were no such activities. At Happy Streets, Sundays come alive with fun and togetherness. This is a great initiative. I had a lot of fun.”I envy everyone who gets to have such fun on Sunday mornings. Happy Streets is a great initiative and I’m glad I experienced all the fun and camaraderie between the participants— Dipshikkha NagppalRamesh Kulkarni (68), a long-time Chembur resident, who attended the laughter club, said, “Laughing openly with so many people early in the morning felt refreshing. It reminded me how simple joy can bring everyone together. I truly enjoyed myself.”From exciting games to music, pottery and Zumba sessions, the initiative saw the street transform.
