Ganesh is 10 years old. He goes to school in the morning and shines shoes in the afternoon in an outskirt station of Tamil Nadu. To work, he must pay a bakchich to the station head: half of his earnings.

Ganesh a 10 ans, il va à l'école le matin et cire les chaussures l'après midi dans une gare de banlieue du Tamil Nadu. Pour pouvoir travailler, il doit verser un bakchich au chef de gare : la moitié de ses revenus.
