After toiling for hours in the scorching sun, food acts as the only respite of the day. With dust-laden hands, Tribhuvan and his friends savour their culinary creation with utmost joy. One wonders, how they manage to enjoy it in such conditions? May be it is the dust and the tar that act as a special flavouring agent!

While his co-workers are laying the road, tribhuvan is busy playing with the tar.. Wearing only a single glove and pouring the boiling tar poses a great risk of skin burns. Ignorant of the fact, tribhuvan seems to be enjoying it.

What’s the one way of shrugging off the day’s weight? A refreshing bath. Seen here is, Murari, taking a bath amidst the traffic. He uses tar containers that serve as the walls, providing him little privacy in his intimate moment. Life on the road is like a glass window where everybody tries to peep-in for fun.
