Description
Central India, 1984.
Truing a bicycle wheel. This chap makes a living repairing rickshaws - or, as in this case, ordinary bicycles. Rickshaws are his bread and butter work, though, he says. He's not making a fortune, but he's feeding his family and paying the rent on a small place - I've not seen his "small place", but I guess it really IS small.
He doesn't earn as much as a rickshaw wallah - which he used to be - but nor is he working as hard, physically. Rickshaw wallahs frequently work themselves into an early grave through excessive exertion.
