Shobha Kharwa is a resident of Bodyguard Lane and is a bartanwali, who barters utensils for old clothes – a system of recycling that was once omnipresent in the city but has been dwindling fast over the last 20 years. She wanted a photo to be clicked of her with the resident dogs. Homeless communities have deep associations with stray dogs and often take care of them.
