Monsoon Morning Yarn Basket on Surat Porch

Soft gray light from an overcast monsoon sky fills a covered porch in Surat, where a wooden rocking chair sits beside a woven basket. Inside the basket, skeins of red and indigo yarn rest next to a half-finished knitting project with wooden needles. The damp air settles as the first light of morning meets the warm glow of a small oil lamp tucked in the corner, casting faint amber reflections on the wet floorboards. Fibers catch the dim illumination, revealing their texture against the dark wood. One shadow stretches from the chair leg across the damp surface, marking the quiet transition between night and day.
