Rickshaw Rambling is on of the interesting thing which we have in Pakistan.
There was a blog which I read and now I am sharing with you guys. So, without any futher delay here it is :
Like for instance, you are cursing the relentless heat and you utter ” uff kitni garmi hai “ unconsciously, you would immediately hear the expert opinion:
” Oh sir jee, iss baar buhat garmi huni hai, kyun key itnay bomb ju barsae hai sarhad mayn, unki garmi kahan jae gi ?? “
I once asked Tariq, a rickshaw driver about Taliban and the on-going military operation and he replied:” Yaar koi Taliban nahi hain, Pakistan army paharoon pay firing kar rae hai aur dunya ku dikha rahi hai key hum Taliban say lar rahay hain, takay “dallar†atay hain, samajh aye?“
So, here – “ I dedicate the blogpost to the amazing Rickshaw art and Rickshaw quotes“ that you find written on the back of these fast moving-three wheeler Ferraris in their own right.

tyre mehngay hain race lagana chor dey
mera sheher, Mansehra
Afridi Tayyara
kabhi to aao na Sargodha, surmaa laga kai
Pakhtunkhwa Khappay Khappay Khappay !
Comparing the rickshaw ramblings to truck quotes, one finds the truck drivers are more “serious’ and are usually suffering from a heart-breaking relationship. Ata Ullah Esa Khan Khelvi who mainly sings “sad†songs being played from Karachi to Khyber, a favorite of Truck drivers doesnt enjoy the same support from Rickshaw-drivers community who are more into Abrar Ul Haq.
