TuckaTHUCKtuckaTHUCKtucka, beep beep, vroom, screech, beep beep, varoom, and thump!!! Wonder what's that? It's my first rickshaw ride on the first day in Mumbai! Back in Dehradun we have rickshaws, but I had Mia — my cool bike — so never really hopped in a rickshaw or what we call Vikram, a sharing rickshaw. Dad would never let me get into one as people, mostly men, are almost sitting on each other's laps.
