Early Morning Rooftop
, Jodhpur

Jodphur is an ancient city in the Indian desert state of Rajasthan. The blue tinge of the whitewashed houses of the Old Town gave the Blue City its second name. In summer the temperature easily get above 40°C, dropping not much below 30°C night. During the day it felt like walking towards a hairdryer in full blast. I drank about 5 litres of water without going to the toilet once. I, like most people slept on the rooftop trying to get every breath of fresh air cutting through the sticking heat.
The sunrise waking me up very early from shallow sleep I saw the city coming back to life in slow motion. Unknowningly theatrical one after another got up, carefully folded their sarong, tidying their sari and calmly walking down inside like backtracking sleepwalkers.
