  2. Calcutta is a joyous city of 14 million. The Howrah Bridge connects its people across a wide and mighty river.

  3. For Mahesh studying in an inner city school in this great city the bridge is what you would see in a picture book.

  4. But it is his bridge it is his city.

  5. And now Raj is going to know too.

  6. Using just a postcard and a box of crayons we are connecting Mahesh, Raj and hundreds of other children across India - two at a time
