R is for rickshaw



I took this photo of a rickshaw in India 2007 in my mum's village; Gosal in Punjab. I love the colourful background with the graffiti Punjabi writing ( I have no idea what it says, maybe I should ask my mum). Rickshaws are a very popular transport over there but it can be scary and uncomfortable sitting in one as the traffic and the way they drive/cycle can be pretty scary, so just hold on!

  1. That's a teensy seat for passengers! I think I'd probably fall out!

  3. Hey Mandy, loving the graffiti background wall! I went to India a few years ago and wished I'd had time to go on a rickshaw or tuk tuk, it looks great fun.

  4. I love trying new modes of transportation, it would be fun to give this one a go just for the sake of saying 'I did it'. It would be even more fun to be the driver, although for how hectic I've seen India is, maybe some place less chaotic.

    Have fun with a-z.

  5. My adopted sister was born in New Delhi, and recently went back to visit her family. With all the traveling I have done, India is a place I have not seen. One of these years. . . Happy A to Z!
