Rikshaws Rock
June 22nd, 2008So here I am back with a post after a very long time. Cannot call this break a writer’s block; nor was i too busy to write something. Just too lazy i guess.
I heard a really interesting fact someone and thought it would be a good idea to blog about it. At a recent festival in Dubai some clever entrepreneur had imported rikshaws from Pakistan and was offering rides to visitors for a trip around the festival. The noisy, sound-polluting, smoke-emitting vehicle for us was a major attraction for the foreigners as some of them had seen such a vehicle for the first time. Apparently the idea was a major hit as loads of foreigners rode the three-wheeler and paid a price as high as 10 AED (Rs 180) for just a short trip. While the foreigners sought entertainment, the native Pakistanis, settled in UAE, looked at them with amusement as they realized how notorious the vehicle was back home.
