Most of us have regular jobs. We go to work in the mornings and come back in the evenings. But some people have it slightly different. What they do for a living will not fit the regular everyday job descriptions. Here are 15 such job profiles that you would never have believed exist in India:

3. Railway pointsman

While most railway stations in India have switched to electronic systems, this mechanical technique from the 19th century has still continued in certain stations like in Roukdi, Maharasthra. The pointsman is part of an old signalling system that requires him to hand over a token to the train driver to signal that it is safe to continue the journey . For this, he has to stand at the edge of the railway platform with his arm stretched out holding a cane ring with a metal ball attached to it. He has to make a split-second connection with a man on the train, which could be travelling at 100 kmph. These pointsmen are often hit with tokens that slip.

4. Tram track changer

There are 170 tramcars in Kolkata, and there are 119 points across the city where the tracks have to be changed. The tram track changer's job is to push the track with a steel rod to ensure that the tram goes on the right track. Many of these changers have been struck by trams and suffered major injuries in the process.
