Odd Vehicles
Traveling through India is well like walking along an assembly line which ends in a finished product that can well be an automobile designer's wet dream. Though we did not conciously photograph vehicles on the road as we travelled in India, we did manage to get some of them impromptu.


Oh yes, one of the postcard images that represent India in the west. That's Sunny talking to his wife on the mobile and
posing for the camera as the real danger passes by him. Talk about serious multitasking!
