More than just workspace

Operating on the Mumbai-Nashik route, this taxi doubles up as a makeshift bedroom for overnight stays away from home. The open hatch and windows provide fresh air and the custom built nets keep the mosquitoes away.

Idling Engines

Spotted this sign at a rest area on a US Highway.


The law aims to reduce emissions by preventing truck drivers from leaving their engines running when parked at rest areas. The truck drivers on the other hand prefer to keep the engine idling to maintain comfortable cabin temperatures (heating/air conditioning).

Still, I find it quite strange that a law is needed to prevent engine idling.

Lot of Salmans too among American truck drivers

Scary ride

An auto rickshaw done-up in a really cool theme.





Notice the skulls and blood on both sides of the the dash board and the magnetic compass instead of a speedometer :)



A message to the passengers.




Some more art-work to scare the passengers. (Click on the image to see the details like coffins, zombies)




Feroz, the owner who's made all the art-work himself using 'radium' stickers. He's worked for a TV serial (horror of-course) titled Aahat which is inspiration for the theme. In the words of the owner "Full gaadi horror hai".
Apart from driving the auto, working for TV serials, he also makes scaled models of buildings etc. for architects.
