One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did a full night out alone in trichy where i enjoyed experiencing what happens in a city in night time and how it wakes up. The experience was really joyful and extraordinary. I saw shops and restraunts cleaning up and preparing for morning before closing them for the night. I saw beggers going back in vans to the place they live. I saw fully empty roads and slept in the middle of the road to take selfie ;) slept for a while with the homeless on streets, then as morning approached closer i saw poster boys coming one after other sticking posters on walls, vegetable and flowers vendors coming from villages with fresh produce, Newspaper vendors sorting papers for the day etc. Then with first light in sky, Temples started ringing bells, Mosque shouting for azaan and that was the trance moment for me. A city which looks so normal and boring in day time how magically transforms into something so different overnight.
