A rapidly growing country like India never seems to have enough infrastructure for its teeming millions. New buildings, roads and bridges are constantly springing up in every available inch of space in cities, making the construction sector an almost fail safe creator of employment. The lives that construction laborers lead, however, and the consequences they have on their children, paint a far less promising picture of this development. As construction workers their jobs demand a nomadic life, requiring them to move from one construction site to another every few months. These labourers, most of them migrants, often make their homes on the construction site itself. Owing to their on-the-go jobs, most labourers do not find it feasible to enroll their children in schools, depriving them of even a primary education. These children spend their days unsupervised in a highly hazardous environment while their parents go to work, and try to keep themselves busy in their own ways. Every hour every day is playtime, but sometimes one finds them escaping into their own private worlds. Moments shared with their parents when they return from work is a cherished time of day for them.
