Inside view

May be the most recognizable vehicle in the South ans South-east Asia, known by many names - the Auto-rickshaw, baby taxi, CNG, tuk-tuk and so many more. Here in Kolkata, they are shared and runs on a fix route, unlike many other Indian cities, where they supplement regular taxis. Everyday when I get in one of those, usually cramped between other co-passengers, I get a view - an inside view. Then one chilly winter evening, after returning home, I just happen to put that view on paper.

 
This particular auto was well decorated, with a hi-fi music player, digital clock, double set mirrors, and the usual bead necklace hanging from the center. There were other fixtures and lighting as well.
