It never really cooled down much that night. Room had no A/C and the only ceiling fan was circulating hot air in the room. It is impossible to sleep in that heat. A small couch in the courtyard, just outside the room, seemed to be there for a reason. I didn’t hesitate, walked outside and lay down on it. Warm, but refreshing breeze helped. Dogs were still barking in the alleys, night sky full of stars… I was staring at them and thinking about the day that didn’t go as planned…
Taken in Jodhpur the next morning (2013)
