The burdens were piled up on the cycle rickshaw waiting at the traffic light

Incredible amount of tod on cycle rickshaw — Shot in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh ©Tetsu Ozawa

The traffic of the arterial roadway was stopped. Dhaka is one of the densely populated city in the world. So the streets were crowded everywhere in the city center. The vehicles stopped for a red light. Some automobiles and many human-powered cycle rickshaws were waiting together.

Looking closer, one cycle rickshaw standing at the forefront carried many burdens. The incredible amount of tod was loaded on it. I wondered whether the man could pedal even though the traffic light turned green. Yet it was my pointless concern. He started to pedal strongly and ran away when the light turned.
