It's nice to see the moon in the night sky through the roof of my broken house. I have never seen such a beautiful Chad while living in the city, the I saw it today. The night sky is also very beautiful in the environment of the village. Chad's light has made this beautiful environment even more beautiful.
But, this time it was in Kolkata, India.
When I first went to India in March 2009, due to cheap flight from Bangkok, the first city I went to was Kolkata. Interestingly, the city really prepared me for what India has to offer. This is how I would describe India:
"India, either you love it or you hate it but you would never be indifferent to it."
When I was in Kolkata, I met many western tourists who would say, "I can never take the rickshaw. I cannot be sitting and having another human being pull me. I cannot do that to another person."
I would reply, "If you don't take the rickshaw, then they cannot make a living. However little money they get, they need to work for a living! Hardly any welfare or unemployment benefits here!!!"

Today I visited the most popular place in Dhaka city hatirjheel. Hatirjheel is located at the center of capital city Dhaka Bangladesh.The place is surrounded by Tejgaon, Gulshan,Badda,Rampura,Niketon,maghbazar and it made the transportation of the people near these this areas much easier. Hatirjheel has turned into one of the most favorite recreational place in Dhaka for the city dwellers. Numerous Tourist and pedestrians visit the site every evening to enjoy the reflection of light and fresh air.In the afternoon people, especially couples visit hatirjheel for recreational.
It just started raining and the father-son duo chose to take shelter in their own rickshaw.
Most of the local rickshawpullers live in the neighbourhood slum.
Hillview H/S, Chittagong.
A rickshawpuller by profession, he burnt his feet when he was a child from a fire that broke out in a slum.
Though it does hurt, he says he prefers making an honest living over begging.
Salute.

In Bangladesh Rickshaw is the most common vehicle for public transportation, and a rickshaw-puller is a common face to us.
I tried to make a courageous portrait of this community, who serves us with human labor....
