The Rusted Resilience
This compelling face captured in Jahangirnagar, featuring a middle-aged rickshaw puller resting under the shade of a tree. His eyes, heavy with exhaustion, reflect the deep lines and sunbaked texture of his face a living map of relentless struggle. His powerful, weathered hands grip the seat; one still clutches a cigarette, its faint smoke momentarily obscuring his gaze. Behind him, the outstanding, personalized artwork of his rickshaw, bearing his name and unique designs, stands as a stark testament to his singular journey and unwavering spirit amidst the daily grind.
