First night flight in India

So I normally take plane rides to update this blog. However, this ride is different. It's our first night flight, which might not seem that interesting. That being said, I looked out the window as we flew out of Bangalore, and the sight was bizzare. Well, it was for me anyway.

I have flown out of many cities at night, and the sight I saw tonight does not compare to any of them. Chicago, for example, has lines of lights expanding from the city as far as the eye can see. This is not the case in Bangalore, and I would imagine the rest of India. 

Instead of defined lines leading to the heart of the city there are clusters of light; usually 2-5 defined orbs of light in one spot. I would never have guessed that the city was home to millions of people. I am still in awe of what I saw. I knew India had an electricity problem, but I never imagined it was this severe.
