Saykat Khan, 70, Mumbai, India. “In my spare time I play cards with my friends”. When I asked Saykat if he wins he bowed his head shyly and tried to hide his smile. His friends standing near all laughed, saying “he always wins”. “There was much poverty in U.P., here there is more money”. Originally from Uttar Pradesh, Saykat has spent the last 20 years in Mumbai selling vegetables from his cart. He is happy with his life now and has many friends here. Saykat’s salary has to support not just himself, but also his wife and his son (28) who is unemployed. “It’s difficult but we have food”. 2015.
