Only natural

The time is 3 am.
We gather around a bonfire with our hands stretched out. We sit close to each other. There is a sharp breeze running across our noses. Winter has announced its arrival.

Kaptaan demands chai for warmth and energy. Batman prepares some. He serves it to everyone present - crew members, drivers, labourers and our very own superheroes, Master and Musician. Everyone sits around the same fire and chats about their daily exploits.

The guys have been working from 6 in the morning. That’s almost a day spent entirely in the field. By the time they hit their beds today, they would have laid a foundation for one of the four music stages to be built upon. At this rate, they need not worry.

‘As long as there is some chai being served, work wouldn't stop. It shouldn't’.
Kaptaan declares.

They finish their cups and head back to business. Surprisingly, they look good for another 14 hours. If at all, sleep is definitely the last thing on their minds.
With just about 10 days to go for the festival, that’s only natural.
