The sun was beating on the metal of the vehicles, and the road lay flattened across the parched plain, with no trees to screen it from the sun. First one car horn began to honk, then a bicycle rickshaw began to clang its bell, then a truck blared its musical horn, and then the lesser ones began to go pomĀpom, pomĀpom almost in harmony, and suddenly, out of the centre of all that noise, a long, piercing wail emerged.
