Fleeting glimpses of Kathmandu at night

Yours truly feels truly that Kathmandu or any other
city looks far more beautiful at night than at any other
time of the day. Also, a city looks more beautiful from
high above, from some vantage point like the top of a
hill or from the airplane than from up close for obvious
reasons.
When one looks at a city from too close a
distance, its ugly realities seem to be more visible.
From afar, you just see the panoramic beauty.
Yours truly captured some fleeting glimpses while
rushing to Satungal from Thapathali to attend a
wedding reception.

While on the way, he felt our own
metropolis looks like a bride, what with the night lights
and all. Gone are the days when Kathmandu used
to look like one dark spot from the space at night
because of load-shedding, with rest of the world illuminated.
So, with a happy heart, yours truly captured some
fleeting glimpses of the city and here they are,
for you to savor.
