Sound Horn !

Beeping is something of an institution in India and is definitely proving to be the sound track to our India experience so far. The sounds range from car horns, to auto's that have a pump horn you actually squeeze air into it to get sound, to new cycles with their bells, and old cycles with their hacking horns (bells no longer working). Beeping here is the Morse code of the road, there is no indicating so beeping can mean anything from I want to overtake, I am pulling out, I'm here everyone look at me, your going too slow, would you like a ride (from taxi's and auto's) and of course hello and goodbye.
