I slept a lot today and I wasn't feeling so well. So it was well into evening when I emerged outside. I had to meet Aditi and I hailed a cab. It was a beautiful evening. The sun burned large and gold low in the sky; alien, warm and all of the sky thrown into pale yellow; the land grey and shadowy in the slanted rays; the buildings stark against the sky tinted with radiance where the blaze of sunset met glass windows. The cab sped across roads and buildings grew prominent and were left behind, the bougainvilleas bowed as we passed and the sun stayed constantly in sight, spreading larger, like a drop of ink growing in water.
