Who said truck drivers weren't sensitive souls. I'm sure there are a few Willy Nelson fans on the roads of northern India. But there's also a hellavalot of trucks that flaunt the creative side of their drivers. Take this one for example. A handpainted mural on the back depicts a supersized maiden and her supersized goat, towering over a house and a beautiful lake. In the background mountains rise from fertile plains and the trees hang low with fruit. I'm not sure what the message is, but judging by the steam coming from her backpack, and the goat's stubborn blocking of her efforts to pick fruit, I'm guessing there is something cosmic and profound going on.
The second message is less subtle - BLOW HORN. And for those out there who might be a bit shy about deploying their dipper at night, the instruction is there - USE it. On the side of all these trucks is the firm statement: India Is Great. Quite so.
