Children of the Pyre

Entry no 66

Synopsis: This is a compelling real-life, self narrative of seven such extraordinary children who make their living out of the dead. They collect; snatch or steal used coffins shrouds and sell them for petty amounts in order to ensure their own and their family’s survival.

Tempered by the heat of the pyre, strengthened in the face of adversities and crafted by a volley of abuses, these imps weave through the pyre and struggle through disdain in this land of the dead. Laughing, smiling, weeping, fighting, and shouting, these children run the race for survival- winning it again and again-everyday.
