The Rickshaw line Painting

Because I spent a lot of time standing in line for autorickshaws I noticed that there is a monopoly system that allows only the local rickshaw drivers to park in the line for customers, whilst the ones who are not a part of the monopoly system do not get customers. The only way hey will get customers is that the customer wants to skip the line and can afford to pay an extra fare. This depicts the business system which I could relate to because artist face the same problems. You can notice the first rickshaw in the line at the lower left and that there are 3 passengers already sitting but the driver is acting greedy and wants one more customer. Because of this the others in line are getting held up. This shows the greedy behavior of businesses where they sometimes snatch the mode of income of even small business owners and freelancers, leaving the common man hopeless and hanging on the verge of giving up. And so, the saying is true that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer At the center of the line you can notice one figure that stands out because his eyes are open and he notices the rickshaw which is standing outside the line , he notices that the driver is waiting too just like him, he too is waiting for a ray of hope to earn something, to have a little more than yesterday. This auto driver looks different ,he looks like he doesn’t want to be greedy for a lot of customers but he knows the value of just one. Now the observant has a choice which he can take, no only he can skip the line and go home early but also can be the one customer the rickshaw driver is waiting for. For that he has to sacrifice more money. Is he willing? Here you can notice that I have used the streetlamp light to mark out the privileged by showing them under the light while the rest are in darkness
