Sleep on the Wheel, by Avishek Das
On an afternoon while I was crossing the road, I saw a rickshaw puller sleeping beside the wheels of his rickshaw. In sleep he might have been dreaming of his next passenger, as now a days pulled rickshaws have replaced by cycle and auto rickshaws. It is very hard for them to get passengers.
