The shot highlights a waterlogged street in Kolkata due to incessant rains from a deep depression in Bay of Bengal, during Kali Puja. As the city battles out the rain and water logging, these hand pulled rickshaws go about their daily routine of transporting passengers from one place to the other. Apparently to the invisible eye, it appears that only the rickshaw pullers fight the adversities of weather to earn their daily living. But it is a far bigger battle, a much bigger war that wages. More and more extreme weather events frequent the city at times when they are least expected. People must face this, with clenched teeth, as if simply victims of dark fate.
