A cool example of when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Except here it is a few vellaikarans (read, white guys), presumed French, doing as the natives do in Pondicherry. Pondicherry is a former French colony and also known as The French Riviera of the East or La Côte d’Azur de l’Est.
Ménage à trois (read disclaimer below) on motorbikes is common place in India. Green consciousness of people in India is quite inherent and motor-pooling is a logical sequitur! Or so I would like to believe ;=) In reality, it is a necessity for lot of families that cannot afford more than a two-wheel motorcycle regardless of family size.
As for the threesome, not sure who taught whom here:
?? — France — India — France — ??
I took this picture as I was waiting inside my car by the roadside. It was a nice fleeting moment that I thought captured two cultures, diverging or converging depending on your point of view, coexisting.
