Peril by Tuk-Tuk

Imagine a journey at breakneck speed around your favourite city in the back of rickety rickshaw

I had a dream…. I was attempting to find the location of an Indian party (presumably in Mumbai or some other crowded and colourful Indian city).

My search was conducted by means of a Tuk-Tuk.

Several false leads and engine trouble were encountered before I finally made it.

The clock was ticking….
