Great gimmick - don't know what he's talking about with the "Hello, Indian Helicopter" line .... first time I've heard that one.

does that fall under "pimp my rickshaw"?? or a "tricked out rickshaw"? one of those! there are so many cable shows about tricking out someone's bike/car/truck, I can't keep track!

Well, I had seen that one at the Mumbai Festival (held every year in February) this time and it was a exhibit that had a lot of children coming in for a picture in a helicopter rickshaw!!! It had a blaring music system inside to keep everyone else outside entertained.

Cheers,
Aadil.
