7 Dec 2024: On the Road

I noticed using several taxis how interesting the interiors of them were, little worlds where someone stays all day. Little makeshift shrines to Ganesha, Shiva, Allah to name a few. They all had some personality of the driver, some tinsel, a calligraphic Arabic phrase. It was sweet to see these constant reminders of god. We don’t tend to show our religiosity in the UK but I liked these tiny moving shrines ans took a photo of them or a drawing whenever I could.
