From William Dalrymple's `Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India':
...Certainly on my travels around India for this book I found many worlds strangely colliding as the velocity of this process accelerates.
Outside Jodhpur, I visited a shrine and pilgrimage centre that has formed around an Enfield Bullet motorbike. Initially erected as a memorial to its owner, after the latter suffered a fatal crash, bike has now become a centre of pilgrimage, attracting pilgrims, especially devout truck drivers.
