Betrayal

Et tu | काका मला वाचवा

मतलब की है दुनिया कौन किसी का होता है
धोखा वही देते है जीनपर ऐतबार होता है!!

क्या चला है जमाना दुश्मने यार बनके
दोस्त खुद गला काटता है गले का हार बनके

Laila's love lacks it

Poor paint work, but the lines are nice.

छोडना पडा तेरे शहर को इस बात का ग़म नहीं
ग़म तो इस बात का है की तेरे प्यार मे दम नहीं!
हम जानते है कि तु बेवफा सनम नही
रह जाएंगे जिन्दगी भर कवारा
क्योंकि हम भी मजनू से कम नहीं

Mumbai Auto rickshaw's anti-war message

युद्ध नको बुद्ध हवा

A less common version of "बघतोस काय..."

बघतोस काय जयभिम कर

Misunderstood life

ड्राईवर की जिन्दगी मे लाखों इलजाम होते है
निगाहे चाहे कितनी भी साफ हो फिर भी बदनाम होते है

Wounded heart

Beauty is see not for touch

This auto has a message for us and also for Europeans.

मन चंगा तो कटौती मे गंगा

The aish stops after 6 cylinders

जिंदगी है ऐश की  गाडी है गैस की

Theatrical Truck

This is a first. A Sanskrit message on a truck.
Translation (courtesy my aunt)

The wise spend their time enjoying theatre, poetry, humour
Fools on addiction (bad-habits), sleep, quarrelling

 And where did I find it? See the second photo.

नाट्यकाव्यशस्त्रविनोदेन कालो गच्छति धीमताम्॥
व्यसनेन तु मुर्खाणां निद्रया कलहेन वा॥

Magic Squares

A 3x3 box with numbers from 7 to 15 arranged so that the the rows, columns or diagonal boxes add up to 33. I thought may be the truck owner is a mathematics enthusiast. After some extensive searching on Google led to a Wiki entry that starts with a term recreational mathematics (yes there is such a thing apparently).
Here's a quote from the Wiki entry:

The 3x3 magic square was used as part of rituals in India from vedic times, and continues to be used to this day. The Ganesh yantra is a 3x3 magic square. A well known early 4x4 magic square in India can be seen in Khajuraho in the Parshvanath Jain temple. It dates from the 10th century.

So a mathematics enthusiast or a religious person or both.

A closer look

Old API auto rickshaws

Still operational in Indore and run on Kerosene.

API (Automobile Products of India) had a collaboration with Lambretta and made scooters and auto rickshaws from plant in Bhandup, a Mumbai suburb. The company couldn't survive the competition from the Japanese 100 cc motorcycles in the 80s and closed down. No points for guessing what stands on the land where the manufacturing plant stood.

Bare bones. Notice the original API speedometer

These autos have a kick start not the hand-pulled ones in Bajaj.

3 wheeler dealer

Not a regular everyday Auto rickshaw.

Bicycle mud flaps

Clicked this one and wondered what could be on the front wheel that would match up to the level set by this one?

Turns out to be a well chosen pair of mud flap. Much respect to the owner on the choice

Truck driver and his boss

Could be a good case study of the HR dept.

या खुदा तेरी अदालत में मरी जमानत रखना
मै रहु या ना रहुँ मेरे सेठ को सलामत रखना

No doubt

Question: Where did you first hear the phrase "कोई शक"?

आसमान के तारे कोई गिन नहीं सकता
किस्मत की रोटी कोई छीन नहीं सकता।
कोई शक?
