From the streets of Mumbai, India, here's a photo of an auto rickshaw (nicknamed "tuk-tuk," probably because that's what they sound like) modded to look like a helicopter! - via Gadling - Thanks Marilyn Terrell!

In India, we call them "Auto Rickshaws" (or "Ricks" if you feel urban and 'with-it'

Dibyo,
I am from India too, and the word 'tuk tuk' is very much used, especially in Bombay and Pune where diesel powered 6 seater rickshaws are prevelant. In fact, Tuk tuk is not used for Bajaj rickshwas, but only for those 6 seater ones.
