Khokon survives by carrying the sacks of money of Bangladesh Bank, Chittagong branch. In night, he sleeps either on a road divider or in a roundabout.
Mir Hossain runs his family by selling tea in a rickshaw van in Chittagong city. He sleeps in the van in night by wrapping himself in a shawl or a blanket.
The rootless people, living in the city, remained unnoticed in most of the time of the day. But they become inseparable parts of the streets in night while there remains no hustle and bustle of the city dwellers. I get surprised after seeing the adaptation of these people, who come to the cities for survival from the villages. The adaptability and the struggle, they are doing to survive, have made them unique. In Bangladesh, many people pass days on footpaths as well. When it comes night, footpaths and road dividers turn into their beds. If the picture of the whole country is taken into account, then the number of such kinds of people would be increased several times. And through these photographs, I have tried to portray how the floating people pass their night.
