What?

Generally, it's really loud here. Interactions of humans with other humans comes in at least 7 different languages in this city. Car horns, cars that play music when they are in reverse, dogs, firecrackers, jamming music, politicians on loud speakers, loud ceiling fans, kids, etc. You can't listen to everything. Otherwise, you would go crazy. But to what do you listen? I have found my self more often than not saying, "What? I wasn't listening to you, can you repeat what you said?" I also think that I'm losing my hearing. Many times this week I've caught myself saying, "What? I didn't hear you. Can you say that again?" Now, even today (actually it could have happened yesterday), my speakers on my computer aren't working. At first I thought it was me...either my hearing, or my listening. Nope. Broken. Dead. I don't know if I'll be able to talk on Skype anymore. It's a good thing the warranty on this computer is for 3 years. Do you think the computer store will just give me a new computer?

What to say?

What to say? How to say it? I don't know. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe not. This place overwhelms me. Sights, smells, sounds, tastes. The land of everything. The fattest people, the skinniest people, the poorest people, the richest people, the brightest colored clothes, white suits, black burquas, Hindus, Muslims, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, dark people, fair people, the spiciest food, plain rice, the most hospitable people, the most rude people, the dirtiest cities, the most beautiful mountains. I'm inadequate to share. Photos don't do the job. Wordless Wednesday is lame. My vocabulary is too finite. I'm forgetting how to speak. My mind races on sensory overload. What to say? Nothing. I'll just post the photos. Curious minds, please question. Comment when you can find the words.
