Sleepless nights
Can't sleep. Somewhere in the area, someone's playing remixed Tollywood (South-indian film industry) music over loudspeakers. Not only is it's mere presence interfering with my midnight peace, but it's awfully harsh on the ears. Absolut annoyance.
Every morning, at 5 a.m. two stray dogs near my house begin howling as loudly seconds before the mullah in the nearby mosque begins the morning prayers (into a loudspeaker). Soon after, a temple in the hood begins it's morning ritual with songs and chants (into a loudspeaker).
I had envisioned long, restful nights in India. It was all lie.
