Betel Nut Worker's Line - Child of the Line

It was probably in the low 30's °C (in the upper eighties °F) and I couldn't believe that they had this kid in a polar-fleece jacket. I am sure they were just trying to prevent the little guy from catching cold in those harsh South-Indian winters.
For the longest time this guy would not look at me. I think he was scared of the strange looking foreigners. After I interacted with the women in the line and stayed a bit he grew a bit more comfortable and I was able to take this picture. It would be hard to come to work with mom every day. Why couldn't she peel something I can eat instead of just betel nuts?

Such a gorgeous photo. His expression is both fierce and tentative... I love the contrast between the green husks and his dark skin. Great shot.
