Mumbai Local

Mumbai local trains have a reputation for being one of the harshest environments you can find. Ofcourse, I was incredibly surprised to find the gentleman in the photo going from passenger to passenger, offering free, chilled drinking water.
As he approached me, he saw the sweat on my face and offered me some to drink. On inquiring, I found out that he's 70 years old and has been doing this for ages! I had to sneak to the side and take his picture without him knowing - since he wouldn't allow me to capture him.
"It's not me who's doing all this", he says, "I'm just the instrument." :)
