Kolkata is among the only places in India — and one of the few left in the world — where fleets of hand-pulled rickshaws still ply the streets. The men who operate them are called "rickshaw-wallahs"(Wallah is a term for someone who carries or procures something). While wandering in the streets of Kolkata, one can see lots of rickshaw wallahs, who, often barefooted, are pulling their rickshaws through the crowded streets and lanes to drop their passengers to their destinations. When monsoon rains fall, usually between May and September, rickshaws — pulled through waist-deep water — can provide transportation to places that motorized vehicles cannot reach. So, "Vintage Carriage" is a frame which is portraying the story of a rickshaw-wallah from the streets of Kolkata.
