    Good stuff man. I too have had fantastic conversations with Mumbai cabbies. In fact they were my early warning system during the Mumbai riots. They knew exactly what would happen when and where.


    Keep it going. Waiting for the next expisode :-)

    Nice stuff man. I too have had fantastic conversation with Mumbai cabbies. In fact, during the Mumbai riots ('92), they were my early warning system. They knew exactly what was going to happen, where and when.


    Looking forward to the next episode :-)

    hmmmm. I can't even begin to talk about my encounters with mumbai cabbies. Next time try getting them started on the rickshaw and bus drivers. Such colourful language, such passionate hatred....
    Timepass, heh?

    maybe they did this on purpose. to have people treat the Nano like a family car. not a taxi. look at what happened to Indica. even the Sumo. both of them have been reduced to pick-up and drop vehicles.
