India Today

Gotiram knows it is time to go home. He carefully packs his tools away for the day, smiling as always as he watches the evening begin to play out around him. His spot will be there again tomorrow, but in the meantime it is someone else's turn to step into his shoes. He claps Sudeep on the shoulder and tells him to have lots of girlfriends, winking as he indicates in no uncertain terms that he needs to start making a family. Sudeep processes the broken English as Gotiram walks away to catch his bus, waving and cackling, disappearing into the multitudinous crowd that is his family, that is New Delhi.

It shows the unemployment in India where a shoe shine guy is reading India today? It could make a very good portrayal for any future documentary theme...
