That day I woke up at 5:30 am and was just walking across the streets in a morning which had a whole time rain - the typical Indian sizzling rain. The hand-pulled rickshaws, one of the few uniques of Kolkata was on the road, while the pullers were getting ready before the business starts.

Location
I took in Kolkata, the capital city of Bengal, India.Time
It was a quite early morning, I guess at around 5 am and I was heading for a tea in that rainy morning. It was a pleasant weather, though cloudy.Lighting
I want to feel the lighting of a cloudy and very early morning. The sun would not be there for sure, and I found a perfect moment.Equipment
I had a simple smartphone in my hands, and no other equipment.Inspiration
Frankly speaking that's a typical north Calcutta (new name Kolkata) - The hand driven rickshaws, the old buildings, the rain and the road - the city is being waked up. It is one of the photos which I love very much. May be not my best shot, but it carries a certain love of mine to my city.Editing
I just edit it with Irfanview and made it B/w first with bit increase of bluish hue. A very simple edit made it look better.In my camera bag
I usually carry my OnePlus 6 with 2 travel lens - 20X Macro and 210 degree Fisheye Lens.Feedback
The rain - it changes the way you know a place. I must say I love taking photos during the rainy season. The cityscape changes a lot, and wait for the perfect moment and it may come anytime. Hence smartphone is proved to be a great tool.
