    The roadmakers

    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    Meet Tribhuvan, a labourer who has been laying down roads for the past 15 years. He, along with his friends has spent almost half of their lives on the road. With no other place to go, they have now accepted the road as their only abode. Working in the scorching heat of 44 degrees at the walled city, it becomes almost impossible to walk, let alone work. But these unsung architects fiddle with the tar, dust and gravel like a little kid who toys with clay. Here, Tribhuvan looks on with hope, while his co-workers engage in deep conversation.
