Mr Sahay is 75 , he commutes daily with a bag full of puppets and a water bottle which is heavy, making it harder for him to walk.He earns for his wife, married daughter and her children. He is Retired Bank manager has spent all his saving for his son's education in chartered accountancy. His son moved to Bahrain without informing him and after some time a news comes to him that his son  has died in an accident. Now he is the only breadwinner for his family.
I watched a Taiwan tv programme, something about the most amazing transportation around the world. They featured the trains in India, where people just climb on the roof ; to the amazing European state of the art trains.
However, the ONE section of that list was the one in the Haiti river, where man would carry you over their shoulder for a small fee.
One to one.
The bridge charges a fee too pricey for the locals, and no man-made transportation is allowed near the river. Therefore, the villagers thought of this.
I've been trying hard to search for a pic, but fail to...

I swallowed hard, seeing how some men are trying to make a living on this earth...
