  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the streets around the Writers' Building, a busy fruit market is in full swing.

Working as a freelance typist, the man transcribes the hand-written words for a customer before the days of home PC or laptop.

An out of focus worker stares intensely into his PC, perhaps thinking of escapism and a life outside these four walls.
