With a population of around 7.5 million, laborers are plentiful in Chennai. You see people sweeping the highways and roads with a broom, cleaning out the road drainage by hand (even during the rain), and conducting a fair amount of the construction with manual labor. This man carefully balanced himself as he proceeded to pile more bricks on top of each other, walking with the load on his head towards the apartment construction site. Watch your step!

No steel-toed shoes for him!
Yeah, safety standards are often overdone in the US, but it's better than having your toes or head crushed. My son had a great "Malaysian brick stacker" video I'll send you if he still has it on his email.
