Rain, Flood, and the Morning Paper
A newspaper delivery person is shown wading through a severely flooded street while carrying a large bundle of newspapers. The water is murky and appears to be knee-deep or higher, making his journey extremely difficult. He is likely in a residential area, given the gate and structures visible behind him. The overall atmosphere is one of a monsoon or heavy rain event, likely in a region like India, where such flooding during the rainy season is a recurring challenge.
