When the sun goes down...

Cold eerie mist...

Faint light...

That time of day when wildlife dominates over man... when might is right...

The time of night...

Stories say that it was the time when spirits are set free...

Vampires... Bloodhounds... Warewolves...

And then the more Indian version... Yakshi... Bhoot... (Blah Blah Blah)

Come 2007...

Not much has changed...

We still have the vampires out on the hunt...

Sporting their designer clothes... Driving fast cars... They come out after dusk...

Men and women out in packs through the late hours of the night...

Parties... The meeting place...

Raves... The beckoning of the spirits...

Music... The bonding...

The cats are unleashed into the wild...

And while the world sleeps... As the city rocks...

There exists another set of nocturnal animals...

The BPO Employees... Commonly known as call centre folks...

Sleep off the days... Work the nights...

Ignoring the norms of society, they come out by the thousands..

Cabs running around dominating the paths of the jungle...

The customer service industry...

US... Destination Extreme...

Preys in the hands of MNCs...

Night life...

What has changed... Not much...

The rustling of leaves.. To the sound of trance.. To the ring of the ACD...

The howling does not stop through the night...
