Now, as i stood there on the traffic crossroads, one of these new what-do-you-call-them-led-screens(?) was enlightening the crowds about fifty thousand motorists that had been fined (no they didn't mention in past how many years) for honking (gosh! not sure when did that start happening in this democracy-hai-bhai) (i know am putting in too many '-'s and '('s and ')'s in here but may be i can request you to bear with an old friend-an old habit!)
Now we aren't discussing the morality of honking here; so, as i stood there, i wondered where does all the sound in the world go? i understand its a form of energy and it keeps changing forms; from light to heat and-i'm not too sure-to mass and so on and. But then, where does that every honk sinned go? Since the universe is 'the universe', technically, nothing enters or leaves the system. This would then, as per first law of thermodynamics, mean that energy in the universe is constant.
So brethren, (which includes sistren since some conference of Southern Baptists in Memphis; wow, google rocks!), let us understand whether honking (and other sounds aka noises, if u extrapolate the query) is a temporary pollution with some lasting impressions on minds of the listeners-like loss of sanity, inexplicable irritation, ranting, et cetera-or is it really doing something more to our universe. You always thought there was something sinister going on in this world that you didn't know about, didn't u?
