Amin grew up in the streets of Bombay but his dreams were bigger with believe in himself and with a passion, he now owns a cafe library named Bombay to Barcelona in the city of Mumbai. He was like usual kids that we cross by in Mumbai but his life changed when he later started working and his boss gave him a ticket to Barcelona as he always knew he wanted to visit that place, he takes that as the best gift he has received in his life. When he was in Spain he saw many cafes around and no matter who you are you can work and anyone can sit and enjoy in the cafes. He realized how there was no discrimination and every person there was enjoying sitting and eating food. He saw the humanity in the people there so he also decided to open a cafe where anyone can come and sit and enjoy a cup of tea and eat whatever they want. 

Bombay to Barcelona was the name that he thought totally fits because his first ticket to Barcelona made him realize to open a cafe and now it stands as one of the most famous and liked cafe of Mumbai.

The uniqueness of his cafe is the way he allows every person to be treated equally without anyone being the boss of the cafe, the other unique and beautiful thing about Amin's cafe is the workers in his cafe are also the youngsters who live in the streets he appoints the ones who are orphans and are from the orphanage named 'SNEHASADAN' or are surviving by their single parent, he has opened two hostels for girls and boys where he keeps the people who works in his cafe.

He believes more in hard work rather then success it is his hard work that has made him stand where he is now, from writing a book about his life and selling them himself on the streets of Mumbai and now having a cafe and helping hundreds of other people like him of the streets is what makes him stand out.

The cafe is more like a social cause to him where he requests people to donate and help him  for the cafe and he thanks all those people and calls them angels as due to these people today he has a beautiful cafe. He is also helping these children to acquire their dreams by helping them himself or bringing sponsorship for them, one corner of his cafe is totally towards the beautiful artwork and clothing's made by these young people which you can also buy, all the things hanged on that corner are created by these young boys and girls. His next dream is to open a cafe in Barcelona itself but he trusts time will tell that, he believes in fate and how it can change a persons whole life.

Everything made in the cafe is yum but one dish which is loved by all his customers is surely the lasagna if you love lasagna do visit his cafe and try it, his cafe includes another spot which can be relaxing for any book lover a library where all the books are donated from different parts of the world and the books also has a small write up why the reader wants the people to read the book with a small message written for the readers by the owners of the boks.

We all know there are thousands of cafes around Mumbai but this one cafe is a must try for everyone as once you enter there is only possitivity and cheerfulness around it where you can also donate anything you wish to and also buy things hanged in the corner of the cafe. Amin decided to choose a life where he can also help people like him as he has himself experienced the hard truth of the children in the streets and his believe and hard work will take him far. 

If you want to help Amin in this good cause do donate anything you wish to for the cafe or the people  ➡https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-amin-sheikh?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=email-payment&mlp_referrer_id=3276744
