Cynical Bystander

I am a guy who spends most of his day time sitting in front of the computer, playing pool, and eating. I like sitting in a corner and watching how the world goes by. But I enjoy not being part of the action, but at some level I need to play some role. I guess by writing about what I observe, I will play my role.- an important one,nonetheless. Just imagine, who would have heard of Rama, had Valmiki not written Ramayana. Hence me==Valmiki, and the world == Rama

It seems that India is actually exporting autorickshaws and recently has around 12 of them running on roads in London. In addition Karma kabs is .. nothing but an ambassador taxi..

Hmm .... India is giving UK a dose of its own medicine ;) As Jack sparrow would put it ... Savvy,are we?

tuk-tuks have a really powerful engine, and they look more ethnic than the indian aatos .. btw i ll show u some recent pics i took .. of tri-cycles and jeepneys, the most common transport in philippines .. tri-c is actually a motorcycle (mostly kawasaki, 125 cc) fitted with a sidecar large enough for 6 people .. so actually the 125 cc motorcycle ends up hauling 8 people + their bags .. and jeepneys are custom made ethnic jeeps, mostly having a isuzu engine, very basic dash (some doesnt have a dash) and steering, ornate tin-made body and wooden seats .. but ya, they are stretched like a limo, some are as long as buses .. more u move away from manila, more primitive the jeepneys become .. so i found all asian countries have their own symbol .. even singapore has rickshaws (called trishaw) ..
