Two wheels and a guy
On a hot afternoon in Thane yesterday, we heard a distinctive roar. A beautifully-maintained Harley-Davidson motorcycle cruised past the autorickshaw we were in, a case of royalty versus the hoi polloi, we thought.

But then the great leveller, the traffic signal, turned red and everyone had to stop. The bike, which sported a Rajasthan number plate, was a couple of vehicles ahead of us and we spotted the rider asking another autorickshaw driver next to him, for directions.
