Daily wagers' wait

17022010179-001

About 100 daily wage earners wait in the morning near rail under bridge at Teliyar Ganj for prospective employers of the day. Not sure if all of them would be getting picked up. Are they the most disadvantaged of the unorganised sector of labour market? Cant say. I feel they must be earning around 2 to 2.5k a month. Is there a path from their position to middle class? May be. But one ought to have middle class qualities of thrift and saving even with such small earning, I suppose.

About

Thinking is the strength of a human being. I think therefore I am. It is only occasional that the thought process wavers on the past and on the anxieties of the future. Thoughts have to be friend. Not the master. Not the enemy. Not the ghost sitting on our back. Musings are not the words of the idle. They are the Gems of Consciousness.
