in rented homes in england. the conservatives say it would result in higher rents. a new picture of princess charlotte enjoying the outdoors, taken by her mother, has been released ahead of her second birthday. in 2005, the bbc spoke to five children living in mumbai, from across the social classes, about their hopes and dreams. now, life stories finds out how are their lives have developed — in india's millennials. india's millennial generation. over 65% of this vast country's population are under 35. they are tech—savvy, mobile, and better educated than their parents and their grandparents. in 2004, the bbc met a group of children in mumbai who encapsulate generation y.

they came from a variety of backgrounds, but they all had one thing in common. their hopes and dreams. together: namaste. we've returned to see how life has changed for them. have their expectations been met, or have their lives taken them in directions they could never have dreamed of? spruha, gaurav and madhavi are watching the original bbc programme for the first time in over ten years. they went to school together, and are still good friends. namaste. .. i'm madhavi, and these are my friends. we live in mumbai... i'm madhavi, i'm 25 years old. i was filmed for the bbc programme which was on the lives of kids in mumbai, about ten years back. i live in a flat in mumbai with my sister, mother and father. when do you have yoga class today?

two o'clock. i like doing art. when i grow up i will become a graphic designer. but first, i've got gujarati in school this morning. adult madhavi: i live in a different flat now, and i didn't grow up to be a graphic designer. i am a practising lawyer. in the past ten years, i have spent most of my time studying. i pursued my legal studies at government law college in mumbai for five years. i then pursued my masters at the university of oxford in england for a year.

and now i'm currently a practising lawyer in a mid—sized law firm. it was my dad who actually pushed me to do law. for me, the choice was always economics or law. there was no question of her coming to my business. i think, after 12 she decided that she wants to go into the legal law field, and god has been kind. five years she has studied at the government law college, the oldest institution in mumbai, and luckily she got into oxford, so there was nothing to think about or anything. it was just to accept, and pay the fees. for graduation we were so proud, our daughter is graduating in oxford. so, it was a nice, sunny day. we went there in our indian attire. it's a proud moment for us. i don't want to ask you any questions...

i think it's very boring! i think it's boring for everybody, i get very passionate, and i think it's boring for everybody else who's not a lawyer. the timings are horrible for you guys. yeah, it's a tough balancing task. i only get one day off a week, which is a sunday, but sometimes it also happens that i'm called into the office on a sunday, or i'm expected to work from home. she may be committed to her work, but madhavi's priority is her family. more than half of india's twentysomethings still live with their parents, as she does. the one thing that i have seen is that the family bond is one thing in india that has never changed, and i don't see it changing, and i don't even wish that it changes. though we have different lifestyles, we lead different lifestyles, we still come back to a family

at home, and i think that is a very, very satisfying feeling. she is traditional in other ways, too. happy to let her parents help herfind a husband. now we have started seeing for her marriage proposals also. she hasn't found anyone in mumbai, neither in oxford. so we have to search for a decent boy. we hope that, luckily, she gets a very good family and the boy lets her pursue her career, also in life along with it. not all millennials in india are as fortunate as madhavi, and she knows it. the only difference that i notice in millennials in mumbai, and especially in india, is the social, cultural divide, the most important thing being the economic divide. hello, my name is sagar, i am 11 years old. i live with my family,

that's where i live. when we first met sagar, he was living with his family under tarpaulin on the side of the street. sagar‘s parents sold garlic and scrap metals to get by. sagar was determined to make a better life for himself. my favourite cricketer is yuvraj singh, he plays forthe indian team. my goal is to be a doctor. as adult: i remember i was a little kid 12 years ago. we were living in the slums at that time.

now, our government has rehabilitated us to mankhurd, on the outskirts of mumbai. mankhurd compound is a development of 65 buildings, created under the slum rehabilitation act. it's home to over 30,000 people. there is little sanitation and a limited water supply. but for sagar and his family, it's a step up. we have our own home, we have four sided walls, we are safe. but this place is where all the people from the slums are put together. so, all the people from different communities, different mentalities come together. in the last ten years, things have changed. i have changed. when i was a child, i wanted to be a doctor,

and now i don't want to be a doctor any more. i want to work for the media field. i'm doing a bachelors in mass media, and i'm majoring in advertising. it's a huge industry, it's growing. it has a lot of scope. sagar lives in a single room with his mother and brother. growing up, sagar was helped by the akanksha foundation, an educational charity where he learned english and was supported in his studies. it's been a particularly hard journey for sagar. but he stayed on the path, and he's had huge struggles and hardships. i think a lot of them financial. many of them emotional. he is hugely determined, and has great grit and tenaciousness to his nature, which has obviously seen him through and brought him this far.

hopefully, that'll see him much further in his life. we were 30—odd kids and only five of us have made it to college, and i'm one of the few. sagar has worked in call centres and fast food outlets to supplement the family's income, and pay for his student fees. i'm proud that i have still not given up. yes, there are days when i want to give up, or i don't want to study, or i don't want to do anything. ijust want to quit everything and start earning for myself, and live my life as i want. but that's not going to take me far in life. after college, sagar plans to do

an internship at teach for india, an educational charity. he wants to work in the communications department, and then look for a job in advertising. what would you say are some of the bigger things you want to do once you join the comms team at teach for india? first, i want teach for india to be on everybody's page, everybody's facebook page, eve rybody's instagram. everybody should like it. we get more people who want to work with teach for india, show their support for us. and ultimately get the support from the government. so tell me a bit more about when you get your results now and what are you thinking about your internship. 21st of april is my last exam. after that i'm going to be free for two months, until my results come. i want to do an internship during that phrase, when i am waiting for my results, and gain as much knowledge as i can, and be with a team and learn how they work, and then apply for a job.

12 years ago, a short distance from the young sagar, a girl called shenaz also lived by the side of the road. she too was determined to forge a better life for herself. my name is shenaz, i'm 26 years old, and i'm married. i live in mumbai and i have two children, two beautiful children. the bbc filmed me when i was 1a years old. i went to dance classes. shenaz was a teenager

when the famous indian choreographer shiamak davar sent trainers into studios in mumbai to teach jazz, ballet and modern dance. she was earmarked as a student who showed great promise. i loved dancing, it was my career, i wanted to make a career in my dance. by the time she was 15, shenaz was taking the lead in shows. but shenaz decided she wanted something else out of life, and chose a different path. i stopped dancing, because i got married. and i couldn't go to the classes. shenaz left school when she got married. she wasjust 16. after i left my school, i never stopped studying. my husband helped me in my studies, he paid for my computer classes. shenaz and her husband have their own apartment, shared with their daughter, their son, her mother—in—law

and her sister—in—law. it's a big thing in mumbai to have your own apartment, and it's a single room with a bathroom and a kitchen. it's very small, and we are happy in it. she is serious about providing her children with the best possible education, paying for after—school classes for her daughter. i want them to have a good education, because i have left school very early. so i want them to study and get good jobs, and be happy in their life. my daughter loves dancing, so she might fulfil my dreams. shenaz, like sagar, has come a long way in the past 12 years. her intelligence and optimism have helped her carve out a better life. with the help of her husband, she now has a permanent

home and her own family. there's lots to do in mumbai. that's me! gaurav has spent a lot of time living away from mumbai in the past decade. today, he is reunited with his childhood friends, and enjoying watching his young self play tabla for the bbc. sometimes at lunch, i play tabla, an indian drum. so cute! i'm gaurav, i'm 2a years old. when i was eight years old, i started playing tabla. i used to go to tabla classes

for the next six years. notjust a talented tabla player, gaurav was also a child actor. but during his last years of school, he decided to do something very different. basically i wanted to work for the society. there were only two options, becoming a proper surgeon or physician. that was one option, and dentistry was the other option. during my high grades, i was inclined towards biology and medicine. and during that time, i had braces on my teeth. so i used to be frequently visiting the dentist. the dental chair, the instruments and all that really fascinated me. a degree in dentistry followed. it took five years to qualify. when i became a qualified dental surgeon, it was, for me, of most importance to be a specialist. this doctor who runs a practice in mumbai has become his mentor.

gaurav, first and foremost, has joined the very best field, in paediatric dentistry. he is a very compassionate human being. i would like him to get into the paediatric field, get into prevention, it get into the government and get more policies into place, where we can take this to the rural area. i want him to grow big, and take india with him. gaurav‘s plan is to open his own clinic in mumbai. he knows he's lucky to have the support of his family, he still lives at home. i have a good support from my parents, my grandparents. they always drive me forward, and that keeps me going. i did a bollywood sequence.

dancing in the dancing studio. when she was growing up, spruha went to the same dance studio as shenaz. she would have liked to have been in a hindi movie. i'm spruha, i am 2a now. since i was last filmed by the bbc, i have since graduated school, i've graduated college. i've switched one job and i'm currently in my second job. i did my studies abroad. i did an undergraduate degree in business. i came back afterfinishing college, back to india. when i was growing up, i'd always see things happening around me, which was sort of an inspiration, aspiration, ambition, that one day i would have my own office space, i'd be running something of my own.

and to do that, it's always best to come back and learn, and understand what's going on. another reason is my mum was missing me a lot! spruha's firstjob was as an analyst for a leading bank. then came the start—up boom in india, and she decided to seize an opportunity. mumbai was becoming a space for start—ups. graduates, even people who had retired, suddenly wanted to have their own ideas, and people were getting funded. everyone had their businesses, had fancy offices. and it sounded like the dream to live. they made it sound like you can have it if you want it. i currently work at refreshed car care. we are a doorstep car cleaning service. with refreshed car care, you can book over the phone or online. it started out as a small

organisation, everyone does everything, from the top of ceo, all the way down to our cleaning staff. everyone has a responsibility to step in wherever needed. spruha works seven days a week, and sunday is usually her busiest day. despite the long hours, she loves working for the start—up. especially the excitement of not knowing what's going to happen next. you don't know what's happening tomorrow, but at the same time you're also thinking long term. so you're not doing what you're not doing, why is it not going? there's a constant push, there's a constant rush. when i do get time off work, i generally go for a run to de—stress, or i go to the gym, lift some weights. that's my way of de—stressing. you guys are moving your office, right? yes, yes. we have rented out a new space,

way bigger than we have now. we got the wi—fi fitted yesterday, so we can start working from today. my generation is different from my parents. our generation is a lot more risk—taking. we know that we have heavy student loans to pay off, but that is not stopping us from taking jobs at start—ups or starting off on our own. i think that's the way we have evolved now. we want to do what we want to do, not something that we are told to do. spruha is different from her parents in another way, too. she has travelled much more than they ever did at the same age. every year i make a point to have a trip, have a travel plan, that motivates me to keep working and then take that time off. i think my generation is adding

a lot to india's progress, by pushing new ideas to the world, creating different businesses, creating different opportunities. the lives of these five young millennials are a far cry from their childhood dreams. perhaps that's no surprise. but all of them have worked hard to get where they are today. some come from privileged backgrounds, have studied abroad and travelled the globe. but they've worked long hours to make the most of those opportunities. others have strived just to get a roof over theirfamilies' heads. their stories are also the story of modern india. the gulf between the rich and the poor, but also the possibilities the country can hold for those who are diligent and lucky. how will the next few decades pan

out for these young people, and for many others like them? ten years down the line, maybe five years down the line, i see myself being settled, having a family of my own. but at the same time, i wish to pursue my career. but at the same time same time ten years down the line, i feel i'll be the top most paediatric dentist in mumbai. hopefully! in ten years' time, i hope to have my own company, doing something fun out of mumbai. i don't want a lavish lifestyle, i just want a simple lifestyle, where i earn a lot of money but yet lead a simple life. there should be peace in life, there should be a lot of love and care, support, and that's it. that's all i want, that's not much. good morning. a fair bit of sunshine

around today but it wouldn't be a bank holiday without some rain. some rain appearing in london, the camera on the roof of broadcasting house casting out, we have showers elsewhere, let it take you to what's happening elsewhere, this could be the start of the thunderstorm offshore from the south coast of the moment. lots of places staying dry, some of the best conditions in the north—west highlands, a cracking start in the highlands. looking at the satellite imagery, this cloud producing a lot of rain but in this gap in between, we start to see thunderstorms brewing. some heavy showers across the south, some of you avoiding them all together, pretty damp across devon, but this will improve. further north sunshine

is out, for the north and west it was a out all day. let's take a look at what the conditions will be by this afternoon. still some rain towards the south—west, far west of cornwall and the isles of scilly might avoid it. there is the risk of thunderstorms, southern coastal counties of england, a bit of sunshine in between, isolated light showers in the midlands, east anglia, if you sports offering, sunshine back out later. northern ireland western scotland, lovely day, a high of 20 degrees, is to scotla nd day, a high of 20 degrees, is to scotland cloudy with a cool breeze. tonight, the breeze easing a little, showers in the south fading, most of us showers in the south fading, most of us going into tuesday on a dry note, a little bit on the cool side, temperatures down into single figures but should be a bright and sunny start for money —— many, but this low—pressure system pushing towards france, high pressure

building towards scandinavia, and we draw a building towards scandinavia, and we drawa in building towards scandinavia, and we draw a in from the east, from the cold north sea. a bit more cloud in the east, temperatures onlyjust getting into double figures for some. one or two showers for england and wales, the best of the sunshine in the west. why is it cold on the wind coming from a pretty chilly sea, getting to the laws to see temperatures stage, eight or 9 degrees, when you get that wind, it could bring low cloud with it and temperatures never getting up too much. sunny skies in the west, plenty around on wednesday, temperatures boosted into the high teens and low 20s. that of cloud and breeze in the south continuing into thursday but for most, a dry week ahead. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11: three teenage women are arrested on suspicion of terror offences in raids linked to a police operation in north london on thursday in which a woman was shot and injured. leading social media firms are "shamefully far" from tackling illegal and dangerous

online content, according to a report by mps. these social media companies have been asked repeatedly to sort this out and repeatedly they have failed to do so. so i think it is time that the government should be putting new systems in place which involve fines. a man shot dead by intruders at a house in dorset has been named by police as 61—year—old guy hedger. labour promises new legal standards for rented homes in england, if it gets into power. the conservatives say it would result in higher rents. also: the final week of campaigning is underway in the french presidential election.
