Koley Market in Kolkata is a place where the farmers bring their fresh vegetables to sale at a wholesale price; retailers come here to buy from them. The place is buzzing from as early as 5 in the morning, with people bargaining, buying and carrying heavy loads. In the winter mornings, beautiful rays of light peep in through the tattered roof, and I had always wanted to shoot here. There was a lot of activity, and I saw a man, with a beedi (thin cigarette), walk away from the crowd.

Probably he wanted to catch a breath, or was he losing it?
