"The harsh reality of lockdown: a snapshot of a hardworking coolie at Karachi railway station during the COVID-19 pandemic."
This photograph captures a moment of hardship and struggle faced by many during the lockdown due to COVID-19. I met this coolie while visiting Karachi Cantt Railway station, where he was waiting to haul heavy luggage for passengers tirelessly. But this couldn't be happened. The lockdown had taken a toll on his livelihood, but he continued to be presents on work tirelessly to provide for his family. The determination and resilience that I saw in him left a lasting impression on me. This pandemic has affected us all in different ways, but it is people like this coolie who remind us of the true meaning of strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. Let's never forget to acknowledge and appreciate the unsung heroes who continue to work behind the scenes to keep our communities moving forward, even during the toughest of times.
