My Fare, Lady

Whaddya Mean, We're Rank Outsiders?

Photograph copyright: SIDDHARTH KHANDELWAL


This wonderful shot was sent to me a few days ago by Siddharth Khandelwal, an up-and-coming young photographer from New Delhi. This, in his words, is the story behind the picture:

``We were driving to Ramgarh, Rajasthan, when I saw this SUV. These vehicles run as taxis, stopping and picking up passengers along the highway. This is a perfect example of demand exceeding supply. As you can see from the rear of the SUV, people who couldn’t get a place inside were holding on outside but this guy in the orange shirt with only his head inside, looked like he was trying to emulate an ostrich. They were in front of us for a good five kilometres an he maintained his (uncomfortable) position for the entire distance.''

Hi David
I was surprised to read you still use Internet Explorer.
Come on Mate, download Firebox and join the twenty-first century.

Hi yesbut,

Ate, aye, sir. Step No.1 - get rid of Model T Ford. Step No.2 - get rid of IE.

Keep smiling

David

There is no comparison between IE and Firefox.
Try it and see
If only to see YesBut's blog in all its glory!!
Mrs Mop often tells me "YesBut if there is one thing you did right it was to install Firefox, now clean up the mess on your desk."
And AND Mrs YesBut agrees
