False Alarm

Last week, on the way to work in an auto-rickshaw, I saw what looked like a fuel tanker -- with a clear fluid dribbling from a rear nozzle. The nozzle was wrapped in electrical tape.

Yikes!

Turns out that it was a water tanker, not a gasoline tanker. And the clear liquid was water: also a precious commodity but not one that's going to incinerate you and your fellow motorists.
