Tampering with Architecture
Vikram - Betaals
When I was at Kanpur, doing my Masters at IIT, there were just two modes of transportation for me: My cycle inside the campus and auto-rickshaws outside the campus. In Kanpur, auto-rickshaws are commonly known as 'Vikrams' and I always wondered why ? Was that the name of the very first man who drove an auto in Kanpur or first man to take a ride on it ?
And finally one day, answer clicked, just like that. Following is the illustration of why it is called as 'A Vikram'.
