Baby, You Can Pimp My Shaw

By popagandhi | Published: 6 February, 2009

It’s Friday morning, 8 am — the weekend for me. I haven’t slept, I haven’t left the office, which just means there’s a new eps on fortylove tv.

The premise was pure genius. Take an Indian auto-rickshaw. Put foreigner inside. Make foreigner drive 1000 kilometres to the southernmost tip of India in it. I had to do it.

For now, part 1 of my Chennai episodes (there are 3), Week 4: Baby, You Can Pimp My Shaw. I’ve wanted to do this for years, and a few weeks ago I managed to go hang out with the rickshaw crew. Tamil hiphop, a garage, dozens of rickshaws, and cans of pink and silver paint. What gives?
