One day, he takes his cows to the cattle fair and must travel along a new national highway. The continuous honking of cars and trucks on the highway overwhelms him, causing the cows to retreat home. Despite his attempts to signal the drivers to stop, they only honk louder, and the noise lodges in his head. This heightened sensitivity to sound leads him to perceive even everyday noises as unbearable. The croaking of frogs, the chirping of cicadas, the hooting of owls, the calls of koyals, the mooing of cows, and the crowing of roosters become sources of extreme irritation. Even the roar of a tiger, which he finds unbearable, adds to his distress. Sringeri Srinivas desperately craves silence. His family and community make efforts to quiet the environment. His wife, Parvatamma, stops scolding the children, and the children play quietly with a soft ball. The cows stop mooing, the cicadas and owls relocate, and the tiger ceases its roaring. The story highlights the impact of noise pollution on an individual and the lengths to which they might go to find peace.","Too Much Noise  \nRohini Nilekani Angie & Upesh  \nOne day, Sringeri Srinivas, the farmer, set outwith his best cows to the cattle fair. He had to walk along the new national highway that had come up near his village.  \nThat big road had many cars and trucks. Every driver seemed to be honking loudly. Paoon! Ponn! Paaa! The cows did not like the noise. They decided to go back home.  \nHe waved his hands at the drivers to stop the noise. This did not help. Seeing him, they just honked louder. The noise of the horns went straight into his head. And it stayed there . It was a bad day for him. He went back home with his cows . MOOO! The cows were happy to be in the cowshed again.  \nBut the noise simply would not go away from his head. Paoon! Ponn! Paaa! It kept on playing like a band of untrained musicians. Other noises around him soon joined in the chorus. Even the sounds that he heard daily suddenly became too loud for Sringeri Srinivas.  \nThe ribbit ribbit of the frogs was noisy. The cicadas and their kirkk kirkk were too loud. Sringeri Srinivas wanted the hooting owls tobe sent away. He was angry at the koyals for screeching loudly at 4 am .  \nAnd at the cows that mooed at 5 am . And whoever asked the roosters to act as alarm clocks? And that stupid tiger! Enough of his roaring!  \nPoor Sringeri Srinivas. His ears had become raw, like a fresh wound. He tried hard to keep things quiet. He shouted at the children if they talked loudly. He glared at his wife, Parvatamma, when the pressure cooker whistled and whistled.  \nSringeri Srinivas only wanted silence. Everyone tried to help. Parvatamma stopped scolding the children . The children played cricket quietly with a very soft ball.  \nThe cows did not moo any more . The cicadas and owls moved to another village. Even the tiger stopped growling.","cbCaimzlt7Xvs0lK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimzlt7Xvs0lK","pdf",1832978,6,19,"English","en",105,"# Too Much Noise\n## The Journey to the Cattle Fair\n## The Unwanted Noise\n## The Quest for Silence","[{\"question\":\"What was Sringeri Srinivas's main problem?\",\"answer\":\"Sringeri Srinivas had a problem with too much noise.
