Best Trucks in the World EVER.

Third post about India- my obsession with trucks. My boyfriend thought I was a complete weirdo when I was demanding that rickshaw drivers take a detour specifically so we could pass truck garages and I could take photos. In India, the Goods Carriers (Trucks) are literally the most amazing things ever. Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, The Beatles, The magic bus and all other hippies galavanting round the world on the love trail definitely took their hippie vehicle inspiration from these Indian badboys. I couldn't even capture some of the best ones as they would fly by our government bus, on the dusty, pot-holed road at a hundred mph. I am going to buy a van soon and convert it to be camper by weekend, work van by week. It is going to be banging.

Signage

Here's a quick Tuesday morning post for all of you back at work. There is no end to the amusement had from anything worded/funny signage. Here is some of the best I spotted in India:





Choose a degree/profession. This was seen in Delhi and left us wondering who we would be able to trust in the emergency of a lost front tooth or such:


Believe it or not I am No 1:

Fosters mineral water anyone?

Goats, a bull, two elephants and a very tired Mother pig.

I have been very slack at posting any photos from my trip to India so now I am about to bombard, starting with the animals of India. Although there is only one bull pictured (biggest horns we saw), cows and bulls are in abundance, everywhere, doing their thing in India. They pretty much own the streets (and beaches and car parks) but they just don't quite cut the mustard compared to the goats.

I only saw one live elephant on my travels and it came in the form of a raving elephant- my favourite kind. The other one was in the museum. Stuffed. There's a first time for everything...
