The year is 1997. The sun has risen, the morning has begun, and it’s already full of disappointment. One man begrudgingly takes photos of overeager couples in a studio. Another goes off to the mill for work he finds boring, while a writer asks whether an editor will publish his ghazal, only to hear a feeble “we’ll try” (a polite no).
