Conversations with an elderly labourer

- Mayank Austen Soofi

His cheeks are wet. These are tears, he says, rubbing his left eye.

A series of questions elicit the following responses from citizen Anand.

"On ekattis (31) December, I will turn paisath (65)."

"I'm already old, I'm now about to step into an even older age. My life will become more unbearable. My body will feel more pain. The ageing limbs already give me so much pain."

"Being a labourer, I carry goods from one place to another for a Chawri Bazar dukandar (shopkeeper). I have to carry nug ka samaan on my head. The body finds it increasingly tough to withstand so much load, but I cannot afford to stop working."
