2014 National Geographic Photo Contest, Week 8

“Memories”. The person in this photograph i met beside a lonely road in Meghalaya, India. I spent one and a half hours with him,and we talked about so many things, and basically I was just a listener. He used to work in some illegal coal mine, he show me his hands which were not in very good shape due to the poor working conditions. Due to environmental reasons the government shut down the illegal mines and people like him lost their job & their livlihood. in these remote corners of india, work is not readily available, so he is now unemployed and spends his time smoking and drinking all day. Photo location: Meghalaya, India. (Photo and caption by Jayanta Roy/National Geographic Photo Contest)
