Title: Messi's shoe maker

Taken yesterday. In one of the serpentine lanes of Kolkata, a cobbler expectantly waits for his customer to take delivery of a pair of soccer boots

Somnath, hello there, is Kolkata what I would probably call Calcutta?

I once had a shave from a street trader such as this, scared the living daylights out of me, obviously I survived.  ;D

Super shot!

Another captivating capture, full of flavor and a big window to a social and cultural snapshot of time and place.
