The Rann does a thing to scale. With nothing on the ground to measure against, a person a hundred metres away could be a child or a post. I kept walking towards a shape that turned out to be a plastic bottle.

Then Mandvi the next morning, where everything is the opposite: boats half-built on the sand, men on scaffolding made of branches, noise.
