True grit ... Every evening, little Dip, a second grader under the education programme of Holy Cross School, carries his books to a pavement in the capital’s Tejturi Bazar to study. While his mother, Mitali Rani Das, earns by weighing passers-by on a scale, Dip’s determination to study shines brighter than the traffic around him. They have no home but a staircase corner -- yet his dream refuses to dim. The photo was taken around 8:00pm on Monday.
