If you ever visited Northern India or Pakistan, you would come across these beautiful trucks. These are beautiful because every truck is like a ‘character’ from an animated movie.
These were named as ‘Jingle Trucks’ by American Soldiers who were deployed in the Afghanistan region owing to the jingle sound the chains hanging at the back of the trucks would make.
Truck art or for that matter decorating your transport vehicle is a common practice in India and Pakistan. Truck/Lorry/Taxi/Auto Rickshaws drivers like to express themselves through these. These expressions can be in the form of a painting, calligraphic writings, quotations or a mere comment. Probably it goes on to prove that everyone has got an artist in them. A few examples below –
