Patriotism on Indian ID-62

On the rainy day of August 1, 2009 a short trip on the roads of Chennai was quite interesting since it gave a good opportunity for some clicks on the display of patriotism.

Most vehicles including auto rickshaws on the streets proudly carried the Indian flag or a sticker symbolizing the tricolour flag.

And now a honest confession, on that day if I would have been on the streets very early in the morning, for sure this post would have be filled with more good Shots.
