Observing a city at 4 am always brings out a sense of calmness. It was my first time I went out at this hour, in the city of Srinagar and was awestruck with the view. The temperature was sub zero and the city's first snowfall was predicted that night. I was freezing standing next to a waterbody and that's when I noticed these boatsman preparing themselves for the early market that happens here, to earn their daily wages.
