Doubles & Triples

Doubles and triples - Terms unique to India alone. Right from a child's tricycle to a fully grown adult's common mode of transportation, this has been the most fuel efficient and economic way to move in Indian roads.

But someone, for god' s sake, please stop giving bikes to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Aaah oon a bike la 2 or 3 players a tag pannindu stadium a suththi kaatta poidraan. Tholla thaangala!

I don't know if it is cute to watch it live or on TV, but it is defintely not for us poor souls who have cricinfo.com galleries as bread and butter. And why the same colored bike?

Look for yourself:

  • As KR said, TVS gifts a latest/hot-selling model to the Man-of-the-match.. And, ever since the Srilankan series of 2005, Dhoni is famous doing this, no matter who wins the bike.. :) I have watched it on screen.. it surely looks good. Moreover, this guy apparently has a big passion for bikes.. One if his fav pastimes is driving a bike at high speed on the highways in Jharkhand..

  • I used to love to watch the Award ceremonies after matches(ofcourse if India had won!) to watch the casual unguarded moments of the team (and even wanting to be there in the ground among them)!! The pics evoke similar infectious enthusiasm!!
