Hobby Sadu
I call him hobby sadu because for some more reasons. First time i meet him in a small slum colony beside the river in Jamshedpur. You may recognise him here: http://1x.com/v2/#photos/member/3875/36703/
Then i meet him the second time on the train station in Raigar which is in Gujarat state and he asked me for helping him purchasing a train ticket to Mumbai. The third time i meet him in Calcutta at the train station as i photographed the "luggage carrier" picture and ones again he asked me for helping him out to purchase a train ticket. After a while ago i meet him back in Jamshedpur walking at the river side. Finally i was curious about all this incidents and decided to portrait him now. He only speaks a traditional old Hindi dialect and i did not understand him at all. Anyway, i hope you will like this picture.
