I don’t know what ‘Ramsha’ means but I was struck by the embedded Hindu reference in conjunction with a license plate that imaginatively draws out the ’786′ in the its number. For those not in the know, this is supposed to be a holy/lucky number for Muslims.

And there’s the inevitable romance embedded in the decor of course. Except of course the ‘Love is Life’ philosophy etched right where a lot of people are apt to put up their feet. Unless this guy is following the common Indian ploy of putting up socially sacrosanct images (usually religious symbols) to prevent people from dirtying the place. Smart.

    Hey I remember that you wanted your dad to get an auto and not a car when you were small :)
    Just saying…

    Dreamcatchers last idea: ‘Look, we don’t love like flowers with only one season behind us; when we love, a sap older than memory rises in our arms’
