The jeep eases out of Ahmedabad at dawn and the city noise peels away, replaced by wind that seems to sharpen the light. Salt plains unfold like a bright, reflective map; flamingos lift in slow pink clouds and the rare Indian wild ass runs the horizon as if testing the air. Nights here lay the stars flat and close enough to touch.
