Transportation in India
You forgot the cargo trucks! In Pakistan they are mostly Bedfords, in India they are mostly Tatas. Usually overloaded and always extravagantly decorated.
eta: Oh, wait. You called them "goods carriers."
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I did not! They were at the end, the goods carriers.

Yeah, that's what they all say. GOODS CARRIER. Or GOODS CARRIAGE. Sometimes, because Indians don't know English, GOODS CARRY.

Just to give you an example of the variety: I still have a two-rupee note in my wallet that I kept as a souvenir. On it is printed the equivalent of "two rupees" in fifteen different scripts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The development shop at my last job was over half Indian. They all spoke English to each other, because it was their only common language, including the two from Kerala. I can't imagine.

Squeaker is finally asleep. She hasn't slept a lot today, and as a result, neither have I. This is what I get for bragging about my 10 hours last weekend.
