Relative Calm

After about 7pm the sun starts to descend, and with it the bedlam, until midnight when the city is, by Bombay standards, relativly peaceful. Less traffic, less pedestrians and, as a result, less honking. 

It’s 11:30 now and I’m in the back of my habitual taxi on the way home. I’m not sure if it’s the Beach Boys playing on the iPod, if it’s simply relative to a frantic day or if it is genuinly calm. The breeze is flowing through the window, the roads are loosly moving with cruising cyclists, a few cars and the odd truck playing with everyone’s heart beat with a tricksy manover or two.
