So I like to recycle, upcycle, downcycle, decorate, beautify aka pimp or pimpify, as I call it jokingly.
I tend to put flowers, glitter, decorations and so on on everything. Be it my bike, my car, my house, my garden....whatever.
Not surprising that I love to see that also when done by others.
In principle I find cars utterly boring and ugly, but if someone gives it a personal touch, something colorful, crazy and over the top, I can love it.
Here is my 'collection' of pimped rides that I ran into in Pune so far:
Hope you enjoyed the ride;-). Have a nice day.

| We saw silverplated carriages like this one in Mumbai too, but there they were pulled by horses. This one had other horsepowers;-). |
| Nice peacock motif. |
| What a great seats, under that parasol! |
| This is what I meant: it is motorized; a car! |
![]() |
| This one is elephant-themed. |
| They use trucks like this one e.g. for water supply. Many people and households are not connected to a water system, so you collect your water with buckets from a truck like this. |
Hope you enjoyed the ride;-). Have a nice day.

Hi Anja, I stumbled on your blog from Sylvia's 40+style blog.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!! I grew up in Pune, but don't live there now. And it is sooooo nostalgic to read about Ganesh-utsav, to see these beautiful pics, and the photo journalism of inner streets of Pune, and all the places you visited there.
I must thank you for giving me this pictorial experience!!!
Will explore more on your blog....

Hello -B,
DeleteThank you for reading my blog and for your kind words. Also nice to hear from someone who has lived in Pune! Where do you live nowadays?
