Night Falls

The loos haven't arrived. Neither have more beds. And the crew is increasing.

"It's the largest district in the world, dude. But you can't find shit here," says Kaptaan. "Except bhuruts."

Tough day today.

Some local vendors have backed out wily-nily. They cannot handle the scale.

But the caterers are here.

And the moon is like a wedge of lime.

In one corner, the deputies crowd around a laptop and a torch. In another, Batman, Kaptaan and Grand Meister are discussing what lights to illuminate the pathways with. Among a million other things.

Consider insects that flock to the light here, consider aesthetics, consider cost of electricity, consider cost and efficacy of setting it up. And consider availability, more than anything else.

Switch off. Save the moths.

The night stretches on.
