It is a collective.

Strangely, we're talking about an 18 million population city.

You know, it's a mega policy.

And yet you don't feel that you are in such a big city.

And the part of that sort of a collective energy, I live not far from a park.

And on every first day of the month,

all of the streets shut down, and then all of the families go out there to run.

And they're doing mini marathons.

You know, they have this sort of a collective energy and enterprise, whether it is to clean a street, that also would be something that all of the people would be able to do.

So I was very much attracted by the fact that families, they will have these gatherings in sort of those places

art spaces, cultural spaces.
