Many of us love our brands. We’re proud to wear them. We identify with them. We stick them on things that are personal to us. Some even tattoo them on their bodies. This competition sparked this post- the goal is to come up with the most creative placement of the Wordpress logo. The image of the Wordpress logo on the wheel rim made me think of you know what. I think we need a little less brands everywhere and more mantras what about you?

In India you will see Hindu gods everywhere. I just returned from a 14 day trip with Salaam Garage. Salaam Garage is an NGO that provides anyone with the opportunity to become a citizen journalist. You get to travel the world and share inspiring stories about the important work that other NGOs are doing. I’ll be posting more on those stories soon. What I wanted to share now was my utter amazement at seeing how Indians of all kinds decorate their cars, trucks, motorcycles, and tuk tuks. In this post you will see images of three motorcycles on one street within a few feet of one another. All of them have images of Hindu gods including Ganesh, Krishna, and Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva as Omh/Aum symbol. Got to make a video of Ganesh riding a motorcycle! How cool would that be?
