There is no shortage of noises each morning here in India. Vegetable-wallas ride their bicycle carts each morning wailing "tomaters!! pyaaz!! (onion)" as though his life depended on it. Garbage-wallas collect garbage, and of course the fruit guys compete with the vegetable guys (almost like a sing-off).
But by far my favorite is the paper-walla yelling something that sounds an awful lot like: "Happy biiiiiiiirthday!! Happy biiiiiiiirthday!!"
Needless to say, a fun soundtrack to your morning when it actually is your birthday!!
And as if on cue, now there's a band outside (yes, it's 10:11 in the morning)... potentially a wedding or perhaps a religious ceremony... there's singing, drums, hand clapping, some dancing... what a happy morning!!
...leading to an exciting evening!! I head to Goa tonight with Tyler, Susan, Linda, and Michael! Aren't birthdays incredible??
