Several dusty lanes lead to a  playground at Aali village in the south-western outskirts of Delhi. The  playground bubbles over with laughter and cheer as children have a good time.  But this is not the way it always used to be. Not long ago, the playground was  well on its way to being a dumping ground and the children lived shattered  lives, some of them on drugs.   

Magic Bus, an NGO, reaches out to  stressed out 35,000 children on the streets, giving them a few hours at playgrounds such as the one at Aali  village. It helps the children take to sport, discover friends and find new  meaning in life.
