[Leica] Koyambedu

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Luis, Tina
Thanks for looking.

Most of these guys are daily manual labourers, who physically carry, or
cart around produce for at least 12 hours a day. If they do not work any
day, they do not eat that day. Hard to be happy in such circumstances. I
just try to infuse them with whatever dignity I can manage, both when they
are working or taking a few minutes off.

Cheers
Jayanand
