People of the dark
When the city goes to sleep some of its anonymous characters come out to earn the money for the coming day to provide the basics for their family. I went out one night and met these people. They were very friendly and enthused seeing me with my camera. Here are some pictures that I took. The place is called Jasimuddin Road at Uttara Sector 1. It is just beside the highway and about a kilometer from the ZIA international Airport.
Picture 1: A man selling tea, cigarettes, buns, bananas, cakes etc.
Picture 2: Customers are available almost all throughout the night.
Picture 3: The tea flask.
Picture 4: The “Ada Chaa” – ginger tea.
Picture 5: He loves his ear rings.
Picture 6: The Guard “Mamas.”
Picture 7: A warrior of the dark.
The people of the dark are very light hearted. They seem to have their own world. They are afraid of all the glamour of the day, but they are not afraid of the dark!
