A rickshaw wallah was sound asleep on the seat of a rickshaw parked on the side of the road

Rickshaws were parked by the roadside. Rickshaws are parked here and there by the roadside in Kolkata, some are eager to work waiting for customers, while others are simply resting. The way rickshaw drivers work varies from person to person. The rickshaw I found on my side at this time was the latter.

The rickshaw wallah was sleeping soundly on his beloved rickshaw, hanging down. He looked very tired. He did not seem to wake up even when I stood in front of him. He has all the tools and the environment to work, but he doesn't feel like working at all. I thought that if he was going to sleep so well, it would be better for him to lie down somewhere else instead of on the rickshaw.
