sign in a rickshaw:
phool hai, gulab ka khushboo liya karo
gaadi hai, garib ka kiraya diya karo
it translates to:
if its a flower, take in the scent of the rose
if its a rick, pay the fare to the poor
i didn't quite get the lines though; its not as if in mumbai you need to haggle with the rickshaw drivers about the fare; unlike in bangalore.
previous photos about signs in ricks: a rather confusing one here and another one here

Great quote!
I have to say that being a genuine Mumbaiite and not having been there for 13 years just kills and all I have left is vivid memories of summer trips there (coz I grew up in Dubai), plus it doesn't help that I am have been in Dallas for the past 9 years.
So you see, when I came across this blog, I was (and still am) extremely thrilled to see REAL pics of the REAL Mumbai that I miss. You're doing a fantastic job with them - keep 'em coming.
