Rag picking is the means of survival for the ragpickers. According to the author, it is their "daily bread, a roof over their heads, even if it is a leaking roof". Thus, it is equivalent to gold for them. Besides, for the children, it is "wrapped in wonder" for they, at times, chance upon "a rupee, even a ten-rupee note". OR Garbage is gold to the ragpickers of Seemapuri because it provides them items which can be sold for cash, which can buy them food and is a means of survival. Morevoer, it is gold also because the ragpickers can find stray coins and currency notes in it.
