**The continuous honking of car horns
**Bells from the temple next door
**Dogs barking
**Birds chirping
**The 'swoosh,swoosh' of people sweeping the streets
**Random outbursts of horns and bells in celebration of something next door
**Hindi music from a nearby radio
Today there is a festival at the Temple next door. Everyone keeps telling me that it's the festival for the Monkey God - Hanuman, so it must be the truth!
Chikku and I went and checked things out, prayed to Ganesh for a little while, ate some sweets and came home. The temple is decorated with beautiful flashing lights, and there is even a waterfall in the courtyard!
Love from Bangalore,
Haley.
