View of a characteristically crowded street from the back seat of one of the idiosyncratic Mumbai taxis - the boxy Padminis are ancient, built like tanks and drive heart-stoppingly close to each other, yet we didn't see a single accident. The New York Times was kind enough to run a great article on them the very day we arrived, which you can find here for your amusement.
a truck right next to us
It has been said that the Padmini is big on charm but noticably short on refinement - but check out that decor!
they may be small, but they can fit a family: Ritesh's uncle, aunt, cousin's husband and little son. The cousin herself was riding with us in a separate cab, on the way to dinner at Excellencsea.
