I think the theme of Iyer's essay reflects unexpected adventures. I believe this because he was initially expecting a typical trishaw ride, and when he realized it wasn't going to be, he felt fearful. He was scared something bad would happen to him, but eventually he ended up having a pleasant experience with Maung-Maung.
The way Iyer uses Maung-Maung's voice in the story is very effective. Iyer realistically portrays his personality, and his values, and especially the way he spoke in broken English. It really helps the reader immerse themselves into the story and makes it more fascinating.
