My wife has given me only half hour to complete this article.
Today, i was astonished to see a lady in her 40s driving a motorbike (usually it is with scooter) with sidecar, i quickly took some pictures from behind. It was sheer amusement. A lady driving a bike was itself strange in this male dominated society. Then another thing was that she was not a young girl who was doing so to break any taboo. Hats off to the confidence of that lady. She was not only setting an example, she also proved that women in this town are ready to take over male chauvinism.
In Ahmedabad, sidecar is quite popular. I have been to all metro cities in India, but i have never seen even a single sidecar on road. Here, we have thousands of families using sidecar for different purposes. Some use it as a cheaper option to car, Dhobis use to move bunch of clothes, Paniwala use to move bottles, old people use it for safer driving, handicap people too use it for comfort driving. There are various other reasons. You can suggest some as comment here.
I have completed in almost half an hour!
I have always been mesmerized by Ahmedabadis driving a sidecar. With a child like innocence, i enjoy seeing them and love to see the expression on the face of the person sitting in the sidecar. It's always a joy ride, i think so, as i have never taken the ride myself.
