A World beneath Ordinary World

Dubela, Anuja Chakraborty: In the heart of a bustling town, beneath a steel bridge draped in flashy advertisements, a quieter, harsher reality unfolds. This is not just a bridge — it separates two very different worlds. The boats that pass beneath it serve as shelters and workplaces, highlighting the stark contrast between the commercial world above and the economic struggle below. Above, there is hope, business, and the noise of advertisements. Below, there is silence, hard work, and a constant struggle to survive.
The people on the boats earn just enough to live by — rowing passengers, carrying goods, or fishing. They don’t have stable jobs or fixed incomes. Every day is uncertain. Yet, they carry on their lives quietly, moving through the water like whispers beneath the bridge.
Their lives are simple, but their spirits are strong. This picture is more than just a view; it is a moment where the old meets the new, where unseen lives pass beneath the eyes of a busy world. Their struggles are not always visible, but their efforts form the foundation of everyday life. Their survival deserves both attention and action.
