Weighing his options
I imagine that this profession is also unique to Mumbai, or at least to Indian cities: the scale walla. For just one rupee (a little more than $0.02), Mumbaikars can find out how much they weigh. Unfortunately, although a half dozen of these guys operate in the vicinity of Kings Circle, I have never seen a customer procure their services. I pass this man on my daily commute, as he waits patiently for a weight-conscious passerby. (I paid him a rupee for this photo, but I didn't step onto the scale.)

I love this shot, but it would never work in the US. Over here we think about our weight to much to step on that scale.

You paid him Rs.1 and didn't step on the scale? Coward! Tee! Hee!
