In any big city, one species of creatures is always available. The ones who stay up in the night and sleep in the day.
Obviously I am not talking about bats of any form (this is not a wildlife blog but I may start one any time!). The ones I am referring to roam around the streets in their (often funky and expensive) cars (sometimes they walk but not in the city I live in) and fashionable clothes (often you will spot someone like me in there: dressed like a vagabond), and frequent (some times jump from one to another) nightclubs and bars throughout a night (or at least till night time joints are not closed).
In rare cases some some such creatures turn out to be vultures - they pounce on opposite (or perhaps also same) members of gender whenever one such victim look available or lost. On the positive side, there is possibility of meeting a shining knight (or a gracious lady) among these night creatures.
Of course you may also find a lost soul hidden in such a crowd, trying to mend a broken heart or forget a troublesome life.
Traditional societies condemn this kind of life but growing urbanisation and consumerism have simply ensured that more and more young people are brought into the fold of urban night life.
Yet these creatures and such lifestyle make urban life look interesting and attractive. After all we all like to let our hair down once in a while and let go when things weigh us down. And what's the harm - as long as things go back to normal the next day, the night out was just another of many activities we indulged in!
