Women

I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.

Hand Pulled Rickshaws Of Kolkata

 A pulled rickshaw (or ricksha) is a mode of human-powered transport by which a runner draws a two-wheeled cart which seats one or two persons. Rickshaws are commonly made with bamboo. In recent times the use of rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers. Runner-pulled rickshaws have been replaced mainly by cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws.

 Though most of India has migrated to motorized auto rickshaws, hand-pulled rickshaws do exist in a few pockets and towns. As of 2005, the last sizable fleet of rickshaws can be found in Kolkata (Calcutta), where the rickshaw-puller union resisted prohibition.
