Life on the Edge

Abdul (26 years old) and Mohd. Anees (28 Years Old), are riders in "WELL OF DEATH", also known as "MAUT KA KUWAN" or "WALL OF DEATH". The WELL was started again by their family after COVID-19 affected them. Originally from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, they belong to a family of the lower middle class. Over 15 members make up their large family. A cycle or bike was usually driven in a pit, but their father was the first Indian to use a ramp above ground. In Pakistan, their father learned the art of driving a car in the well. In 1982, he became India's first man to drive on a ramp wall. Despite his father's opposition, Abdul was always passionate about the arts and was eager to continue the legacy. Additionally, he chose to be a driver because he had some unwanted problems at home (both financially and mentally). Abdul believes there is no escape from death, and you are powerless to escape it.

All the earners in his family ceased to work during the lockdown. Many problems arose at home. His elder brother Naeem began making undergarments after months of stress. A successful outcome resulted from the work. In the present day, the family owns a factory that produces underwear. Several members of his family and relatives make up the crew. All of them struggled with socio-economic and socio-political issues, and so they decided to risk their lives to earn and feed their families.

He stays in the game as long as every time he drives thanks to Abdul's passion and talent. To earn respect in society, he is doing the work against all odds. Rather than letting his son pursue this career, he wants him to pursue education. Throughout his life, he contemplates different ideas. Though he has faced hardships throughout his life, despite his talent and passion, he believes he is a celebrity!
