In a forgotten corner of West Bengal, India, a man sits quietly outside his tattered home, blending into the chaos that surrounds him. His shelter, made of worn-out tarpaulin and patched-up scraps, stands like a fragile reminder of resilience. Clothes sway on a makeshift line, drying under the open sky, while discarded materials lie scattered—echoing the hardships of a life lived on the margins.



Above him, a warning sign reads "Accident Prone Zone," an ironic statement that reflects more than just the dangers of the road. It speaks of his own life—unstable, uncertain, and always on the edge of survival. The world rushes past, unaware of his existence, much like how his struggles go unnoticed, despite the warning sign standing tall. Through this image, we are reminded of the invisible struggles of those who remain unseen, living in conditions where every day is a test of endurance and strength.
