2:10Now Playing84-year-old Aabid Surti is a national-award winning author, cartoonist and artist. He has 80 books to his credit. Every Sunday morning he visits the topmost floor of his apartment complex in Mumbai’s Mira Road district. He rings the doorbells of all 56 apartments in the complex, asking residents a simple question: “Do you have a leaking tap in your home?” Aabid is accompanied by a plumber and a volunteer. The plumber gets to work, plugging leaks in the homes of those who answer with a yes. Over the years, Aabid says, his efforts have helped save 10 million litres of water – and also won him fans and followers.
