Contexte culturel
Hard work is often spiritualized. The concept of 'Karmayoga' (the yoga of action) means that working tirelessly is seen as a form of worship. Pune is known as the 'Oxford of the East.' Here, 'making night into day' is a badge of honor for students living in 'Abhyasikas' (study halls). In the fast-paced life of Mumbai, this idiom is used for the 'Mumbaikar' spirit, especially those who commute long hours and work late. The idiom is frequently used in folk songs (Powadas) to describe the bravery and hard work of Shivaji Maharaj's soldiers.
