"He puts one foot on the parapet of the well. Bougainvilleas surround him. They are his favourite flower. So pink and red, full of love, he thinks. If these flowers were human they would be the most beautiful people on earth." (Irani 5)
"Twenty metal beds occupy this room. The beds are places opposite each other, in rows of ten each. They have thin mattresses covered with white sheets but no pillow.Since Jyoti is mopping the floor, the children are on their beds. Most of them are still on a bed near a window and are playing a game of antakshari." (Irani 7)
The quotes I picked show Chamdi's physical ordinary world, and his mental ordinary world. Both these places are very different, but they are where he feels like he belongs.

I choose this photo to show Chamdi's ordinary world because the flowers outside his home connect him to his parents, even though he doesn't remember them. Being "with" his parents is a comfort to him and add to his ordinary world.
