A few others

I go meet a Parsi who drives a rickshaw for a living. He is hesitant to appear on camera. He says he will talk to his family about it. I meet them a few days later. They decide not to.

I see a small shop selling sandalwood and other Parsi religious items outside the Komra-ni-Agiary in Poona Camp. An elderly man waits patiently inside for customers. He is Eruch Irani, he works there for 2000 a month. He’s been doing small jobs like this all his life and continues to do even though he’s past 60. He has managed to give a comfortable life to his children, and though they are away, they support him with money regularly.

Noshir Chhoga, suffering from Alzheimer's, struggles to make his way to the toilet.
