         		 Coolies, workers(who load stuff in the trains luggage compartments ) and shopkeepers usually know each other. I have seen them sharing laughter's, having discussion and even getting angry at each other at times. Though they have no common tasks, still they come in contact with each other and become friends. In their free times they sit together and discuss their up's and down's in life and days.: by varundhir, Views[563]
         		 This boy represent all the boys who lives at the station and make there living out of the rages-water bottles, contains, papers- thrown by the passengers on to the platform or on the railway tracks. They risk there lives to collect the waste from the tracks, so that they can sell it and earn something out of it. Usually whole family is involves in this task. Many a times members from different families fight over the collect just a simple plastic bottle thrown by the passenger. This boy was having some quite time sitting with his mates after collecting some plastic bottles.: by varundhir, Views[1015]
     
    When passengers enter the Old Delhi platform there is big screen were passengers to get to see running status of their trains and on which platform their train is coming. Its very useful as there are dozens of trains arriving at station at a single time and to keep up with their location these big display screens are very useful. As the inquiry counters are mostly flooded with people and there is a chance you miss the announcement at a Delhi Railway station because of the heavy noise of locomotives & crowds. These Display boards also tells passengers anout the platform number on which train is coming. you know how much this information is helpful when there are 16 platforms at a station. : by varundhir, Views[1099]
         		 In the scene above we can see people are waiting for their respective journey to start. All are waiting either on the ground(family of husband and wife and their two kids), on benches(lady and an old man), and on the luggage(which is to be loaded by coolies in the luggage compartment of the train on the next platform). Its a typical scene of an Indian Railways platform.: by varundhir, Views[751]
         		 Trains are getting ready for their journey to start. Few are on their respective platform, while most in this scene are not on the platforms -as they are done with their part of the journey ans getting ready for the next one. and has been parked onthe side tracks. A young boy is seen is seen in this pic which was cleaning windows of the bogies from outside with a bucket full of water. : by varundhir, Views[687]

         		 Smiles and hope - A group of Kashmiri migrant workers smiles at the camera. The ongoing militancy and daily clashes in Kashmir have made lives of local people very tough and cut the employment to nil. So, Kashmiris now have to migrate to other parts of India in search of odd jobs. Some bring with them woollen items and dry fruits and sell them in small towns and others, who don't have anything to offer, just resort to plain hard labour. With the hope that one day their homeland shall be peaceful and they shall return...: by mirror, Views[1355]
     
    The caretaker - A boy keeps for his father's workshop in the absence of his father. Despite strict child labour laws, it is very common seeing children helping out in their family business, working into shops, doing daily wage jobs like waiting tables, doing dishes, selling cheap items etc. to support their families. Education takes a back seat when survival is on stake!: by mirror, Views[969]
         		 It's a dog's life - A street dog sleeps on the divider of an Old Delhi street. The scene is symbolic of people's apathy towards stray animals. Street dogs have a life of loneliness and hardships, have to beg and fight for food, are traumatized by frequent fights amongst them, heavy traffic and people's often cruel and harsh behaviour. Most of them are scarred for life.: by mirror, Views[1359]
         		 The tea break - Two friends have a tea break while the life goes on around them. Tea, introduced during the British rule, is the most popular drink all over India and tea breaks are a time to relax and socialise. A tea break can involve discussions of all type- business ideas, current affairs and politics, social issues, the day's news, sports, movies - basically anything and everything under the sun.: by mirror, Views[1145]
         		 Monsoon moods - The reflection of the Jama Masjid tomb, along with that of a rickshaw puller, is visible in a shallow pit in an Old Delhi street. Monsoon in India is a time of extremes, joys and hardships both. While the nice weather gives much needed respite from the long hard summer, rains spells doom for people whose life is dependent on the crowd on streets. The tomb is under repair while the rickshaw puller has to wait for passengers, who are in scarcity at this time of year.: by mirror, Views[1463]
