Outside the house, 12:34
Every day I hear the sounds of people in the street peddling their wares. Last Friday I got a surprise when the wares in question turned out to be mattresses. Today I get another surprise.
I hear a vehicle in the distance with loud music blaring from it, and wait as it slowly gets nearer, i feel confident that the message will prove religious or political: a temple festival or an election.
Wrong again. The loud music comes from a small Mahindra truck selling very small onions. One more surprise.
