Of late I have been using my camera quite a bit and it goes with me where I go, so here's a taste of Bombay roads, the colour, the grime and a lot of how fellow vehicles look in traffic. Close ups and crops of Trucks, the local BEST buses and even the inside of an auto rickshaw. As usual I am drawn to pattern and colour thats what you will see in this post. Not the whole picture ~ but a colourful part of it. Enjaay!
Truck Graphics in super bright colours are an integral part of Indian Roads. We just love colour and will splash it on all the things we love.
By the time I craned my neck out of the speeding cab & got the focus right on my DSLR, this would have whizzed by. Here's where a good old point and shoot comes handy.

What camera are you using Vineeta?
Miss stovetop - I use a canon 450D.
But the last pic was taken with a canon point and shoot.
These are such fantastic photos Vineeta! So nice to get a glimpse of your side of the world!
Chanced upon you blog! Lovely post.
This post brings an all time favourite; ...each region has a favourite colour.
Fun pictures. Really brings out the essence of Mumbai! The cose ups especially are awesome.
Fabulous!I love the explosion of colours.
But this is getting eerily funny... I've been going on a 'streets of Mumbai' clicking spree too (much to the embarassment of my teenaged son!). And though my pics are not a fraction as good as yours, guess what? I 'got' a truck which could've been brother to that one in the third photo (except mine had designs scrawling all over the metal over the wheel too , so it was possibly more in touch with its feminine side ;D ).
So many coincidences, could it be the mallu genes I wonder?
Wow, so much vibrant colour and detail! Thank you for sharing a slice of your city with us. I would love to visit Bombay one day and see it with my own eyes :)
may be it is time you start your own postcard series with your pictures - i bet you will find many buyers
Isn't it lovely to find design just by chance or in simple things around u where u live or travel? Love the Holi auto seat.
Just saw a post in another blog about the decor in a restaurant and an ice cream shop in Greece. Thought I'll share it on here because you might like it too.

Oh, my bad! Just realised that I discovered Miss Stovetop right from here in the previous comment, LOL. Blame it on the 6 cups of coffee on my late night here at work for sharing info found on here with you again. :)
Such gorgeous colours :) I'm visiting bombay in a month or two - cant wait - i loved it the last time i was there :)
Beautiful photographs . I love your blog for the sheer pictorial splendour :)
Great photos! Thanks for the tour. I'm busy going through all of my photos from my recent visit. :)

Gorgeous Vineeta!!! I fear that the UK traffic will never offer such visual delights no matter how creatively one looks at it.
