NEW DELHI BOY
I only went to New Delhi without really taking the time to explore the city. What atmosphere. I had the impression that the whole India was mixing in one place, creating a cacophony that is still incomprehensible to me. And in the midst of this anonymous mass was Rajat, 8 years old. He carries a bag full of garbage that he picks up and tries to resell to the highest bidder. His English is impeccable. He asks me to buy him a bag of rice and then disappears into the teeming crowd, without a word.
