Recently, he started a photo series on Instagram, interestingly titled ‘4 AM Heroes’. Every photo is accompanied by a caption that says: ‘This is a tribute to all the unsung heroes who are working at that hour of the day where most of us are sleeping. So I decided to change my sleeping pattern and showcase the worthy.’
“It all started one day when I had to go distribute newspaper flyers for my mother’s cafe. I woke up at three in the morning with my father to go and check whether the newspaper guys were doing the job properly or not. In that first run, I somehow could relate to everyone working there. It made me think that everyone has seen 'behind the scenes' of almost everything... how about doing the same for the newspapers and milk packets at the door step?” Nilay told The Better India.Here is a look at some of the pictures from his photo series:
