The houses in Marve village have stood the test of time to retain their appearance without any high rises
Corina Pereira was born and brought up in Marve village and has been living there for the last 51 years. Over the last five decades, the Mumbaikar has seen the village, or gaothan as it is called, change in more ways than one. However, she doesn’t fail to reminisce the good old days. Corina shares, “As a child, all the children from the village came out to play together, climbing trees to pluck fruits, go swimming together and bond very well. Playing all those old games like - Itti Dandu and 7 tiles, are now nowhere to be found. There was this sense of utter togetherness and unity amongst all of us.”
