Nawab, a rickshaw driver, said that in winter, the body gets cold. I read ganjis, sweaters, jackets. Even though there is a sheet, the hands and feet are getting cold. There are less people on the road in winter. Hence the income has decreased. I am standing at the crossroads in the winter. But there are no passengers.
