Dark hands, bright steel: portraits from Chor Bazaar

In the loud and bright environment of Chor Bazaar, I found a quiet, dark corner where six people were making steel utensils shine despite being covered in black residue. Their hands, covered in ripped gloves, and faces bore the marks of their work. They even ate with those dirty hands, shrugging off my concern with "Aisa hi hai yaha." Seeing them make this place their home at night left a deep impact on me. As someone from the digital age, I was struck by their gritty reality and unwavering dedication. This photo story aims to evoke that same feeling. #ShotOnSmartphone
