In this November 15, 2017, photo, Dinesh, 55, who has been working for the last 20 years as a roadside barber attends to a customer in New Delhi, India. Dinesh, who uses only one name, sets up a mirror and chair on the sidewalk and typically earns about 100 rupees ($1.50) a day cutting men’s hair and shaving them. He said he often thinks about returning to his family farm in the northeastern state of Bihar.“I’m a poor man who is doing my work”, he said. “I have to feed my kids”. He said if he had any spare money he would think about buying a pollution mask. What he does earn, he said, he spends on basics like salt and chapatti, a type of Indian bread. “I’m old now. I will go to my home and do some farming, plow my field”, he said. “What else can I do?”. (Photo by Altaf Qadri/AP Photo)
