Time to come back to palace was supposed to be within ten o’clock.
When I reach at about 10: 15 PM I see people who are awake and discussing things with eachother.
Where’s the catch?
The alarm was to reach within 10.
The gatekeeper said: come about two hours before midnight so that sleep isn’t disturbed for everyone.
Now: everyone is happy. Shop where I work has an excuse to reduce the payment for he has time to argue but no time to consider that my breaks didn’t amount to more than two hours in total in the 12:30 to 9:30 shift.
It’s mostly people chilling out between 6 to 12 or even later.
If I insisted on staying or struggling to save money some people would have been happier. Schedenfreude and Defenestration.
Dancing light of grace 
Story: two days later. Time to return to palace is about eleven. Chai Vibhag rarely opens before eleven thirty. For mysterious reasons there’s always a long queue before Swaroop Gas Agency these days. Earlier it used to be only on Sundays.
