BY KARISHMA MEHTA

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories

Eight years ago, Karishma Mehta founded Humans of Bombay, inspired by the single idea – we all want to be heard. From the first shoot, where she traipsed Mumbai’s iconic Marine Drive, asking strangers to speak with her, she’s brought together a team of storytellers and a community of over 3.2 million people who believe in the power of humanity. 


This book, a collection of some of the best stories documented over the last 8 years, is Karishma’s love letter to the people of India. Every story in this collection is unique, inspirational, and relatable, and offers a glimpse into a country with 1.3 billion beating hearts… one tale at a time.

Great book - highly recommend it

I have always enjoyed Humans of Bombay on Instagram, and I am a big fan of Karishma and her TED talks. I bought this one as an intro to these stories for a friend who lives in the states and was curious about India.

The stories make me smile, cry, feel immensely proud

A booster for the hard times in a hardbound version. The stories make me smile, cry, feel immensely proud and just have a myriad of emotions that linger on even after I close the book.

Life is tough. Nobody has to teach us this truth.

Life is tough. Nobody has to teach us this truth. We just know. Through the example of our own lives. Where some teaching is required, is learning how to live this tough life. There are gurus who help us do that. I would argue that this book, Humans of Bombay, is one such guru. By reading the stories of the extraordinary lives of seemingly ordinary people, we can learn. We can get inspired. And we can live. My compliments to Karishma for putting this together. This is a must-read.
