    But street art isn’t new to Mumbai. India’s swashbuckling truck-drivers have been pimping their rides for years. The resultant trucks, or “lorries,” are moving canvases that make a visual honk as loud as a claxon. Peace and love are popular themes along with social messages like “Don’t drink and drive,” and “We Two, Ours One,” an apparently ineffective family planning slogan made popular in the 1970s.
