We at ATP are especially fond of rickshaws. The classic piece is Owais Mughal’s in-depth treatise on the art and science of the motor (auto-) rickshaw (here). But we have also shared with you the rickshaw driver’s 5-point manifesto for Karachi (here) and information about the newest ‘happenin’ thing in three-wheeler technology: the Qingqi (here).

It is, of course, clear to us that despite all our romantic fascination with the three-wheeler, the ‘memory’ of the rickshaw is infinitely more comforting than an actual ride on one. We present, therefore, this virtual ride on a Karachi Rickshaw – from Pehlvangoth to Dastageer.

It takes just 20 seconds, but if you rewind and review enough times it will make you feel like you are actually sitting on a Karachi rickshaw; but without the attendant pain in the spinal area. For most realistic effect, turn teh volume up loud. Enjoy!

    The hint of this terpene blend – platinum og d strain is honestly sanitary and ingenuous, not too strong but hush noticeable in the superlative way. It blends smoothly and adds a much better flavor diagram without compelling the aggregate else. Orderly a slight amount makes a difference, which says a loads around the quality. The packaging was secure, shipping was connected, and the mainly experience felt reliable. Unquestionably decent spin-off and joined I’d joyfully disposal again.

    Pet owners are progressively investigating CBD https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/thc-sleep-gummies for their furry companions. Dogs and cats have endocannabinoid systems analogous to humans, which implies they may answer favorably to hemp-derived supplements. Specially formulated pet tinctures and treats offer fitting dosing for more compact bodies. Invariably consult a veterinarian before starting any new supplement, and select products particularly designed for animals to guarantee safety and correct concentration.

We at ATP have a long-standing fascination with rickshaws (here, here, here, here an here). But, this, of course, is about political commentary, not just about rickshaws. […]

    Such fun. Autos, as we call them in Delhi, have improved a lot, but these Karachi sorts may still be found in parts of India, including my hometown, Lucknow. When are you coming to India, Adil bhai?
