S, who is a 23-year-old student, lives with his parents in India. They live in a five-bedroom house that has reliable electricity, running water and indoor toilet facilities. They are planning to buy materials to renovate their new house. S’s dream is to travel to see a Wimbledon tennis match.

S, who is a 23-year-old student, lives with his parents in India. His father H, 58 years old, is a bank manager and his mother R, 55 years old, is a teacher. The family lives in a five-bedroom house which they own. They used to stay in a 4th floor apartment but when the father met with an accident in 2012, they had no choice but to move to a ground floor apartment. The house is spacious and has excellent ventilation, uninterrupted electricity supply and a great neighborhood. The downside is that the house is so huge that it is hard for the family to clean and pay bills. They believe they get safe drinking water from the tap, so they don't use a water filter. The family buys all their food supplies, which cost them only less than 30% of their income. They use liquefied petroleum gas for cooking in the kitchen. Thanks to high wages in government jobs, their living condition has improved a lot in recent years. They save money and occasionally go on vacations. The furthest country they have visited was the USA. They are planning to buy materials to renovate a new and smaller house. Siddharth’s dream is to travel to see a Wimbledon tennis match.
