Aamir Lone
a houseboat on Dal Lake, Srinagar
Aamir lives on a houseboat in Dal Lake, Srinagar. He wakes before dawn to work as a window washer, keeping the tourist spots crisp and clean. The closest thing he has to an escape is collecting pebbles from every place he has rested his head, as a way to map his wanderings and dreams.
