Jetlagged Neighbours


Their day starts when ours is just about to end. That's about when the lights come on, one by one, shockingly visible against a backdrop consisting entirely of their opposite :) Aids in the never-ending quest to expand the city skyline. The crane keeps lifting, the machines ramble on, the humming noise in the distance never ceases and the announcers voice occasionally booms out over everything else; All this goes on, least affected by the fact that everyone around has, in all probability, drifted off to some corner of dreamland already! A constellation of little balls of light in the distance that helps meet construction deadlines and gives workers their daily light exposure ;) Handy little balls of light indeed, they're quite an eyeful too :)

It's hard to believe there's so much going on when we're all fast asleep...

The construction yards next door, my jetlagged neighbours...

PS : Click on the pic to get a fuzzy full screen view. The arrows on the building to the left seem to be pointing at something... maybe a treasure chest? I guess it's more likely to be a toolbox! I should definitely keep my unusually active imagination under control :P

@ kaushik-

What was the first clue? :D If you can figure that out, it'll be easier to find out whether they point to the next one :)

Maybe the arrows are implying the second half of Newton's observation... After all, what goes up must come down! :P
