Missing the Chaos.

Always a step away from insanity.This probably summarizes life in South Asia. Silence is a privilege bestowed only to the wealthy.As someone who doesn't like the chaos but used to it, the western world's lack of it makes me crave for it. In south asia, sounds are always a perennial company. The creaking ceiling fan,the honking vehicles,the yelling shopkeepers, the intrusive strangers, to name a few are always there to give you company. You never feel you are alone even in the smallest of towns. Central Kallidakurichi, one among the thousands of the nondescript towns in south asia will produce more noise than downtown "any city in western world". But yes, one appreciates south asian flavours only if one steps out..
