Nandamuri Balakrishna received the Nandi Award for Best Actor for his
film Simha. Simha was subsequently dubbed and released in Hindi under
the same name. After actually clicking this photo on an auto across
Aroma Bakery, and seeking to know more about the film; I later realized I
had watched Hindi dubbed Simha in Channel Stargold long back. Simha is
another name for Lion. In fancy Kannada typography ‘Simha’ has been
posted by its proud Auto rickshaw owner. Which relates me to this
appealing reality that in Yelahanka New Town where number of Autos is
deficient, Auto drivers consider themselves warriors and heroes. With
expensive rides, without using the standard meter, these auto drivers
rule roads in Yelahanka like a Simha/Lion. How paradoxical does that
Simha written there on the screen of that Auto now look?
