Living alongside the railway line.

Hanoi - the capital of Vietnam. Nobody knows why a railway line was built directly in town, where live too many people, so close to their shops and houses. A train passes on a railway two times in a day - in the day-time and in the evening and each time is forced to «squeeze» through crowds of trading people and playing children. A photographer Ashit Desai tells «It's usual life for people who live here. For example an old man can sit almost all day on the rails and just before the train's arrival he takes the chair"
