saw this rickshaw while stuck in traffic on juhu-versova link road. on the rear side of the driver's seat was this stack of books, in hindi as well as english. haven't seen any other rick like this before. i was wondering about the kind of books he would keep in here. i can't make out any of the titles, except on; which reads: 'self evolution'. nothing like a quick read while stuck in the traffic, eh?

Wow! I love this photo! And that driver sounds like a very literate man. Hihi. I love photos like this!
What a great way to travel. I think people should read a book then leave it in for the next person.
It's a rare soul who could find self enlightenment under those circumstances. Me, I would prefer comic books.
Those books are written by Pandit Shriram sharma aacharya. From Gayatri Parivaar. There are many such rickshaws in Mumbai which keep these books. One of the rickshaw waalas is known to me. If you see carefully, theres one picture of Gayatri goddess, sicne its gayatri parivaar. And thanks for posting this photograph. My mom will be so happy to see this :D
@ Pragya: Thanks for the comment and the info! I did not know that these were books from a specific organization. And I have not seen many such rickshaws in Mumbai. But it's a great initiative indeed.
