Warking

In the spirit of never regretting missing a picture I dragged myself out on one of the hottest days of the year so far.  I dodged ricks and trucks and massive potholes to snap a road sign that I loved.  I've always regretted not causing a traffic jam in order to get a picture of one on a construction site on the outskirts of Jaipur which read "Better late than newer".

What really delighted me about this was that it wasn't a one off mistake.  There was another identical one at the other end of the hole in the road.

Sign Language

I love bad brand names, silly notices and puzzling labels and I have another blog, really just for my own amusement, where I usually post stuff like this but in the spirit of sharing have a few labels, names and signs which have caught my eye recently:

For only the most twisted of birthdays.

...this must have been done enough times for the gas company to post a warning on every envelope that goes out.  Clothes lines, I get, swings?!?

This serves as an example of the overly honest signage which is prevalent in India; Standard Silk, OK Air Conditioners, Acceptable Movers and here "most" of your needs.  To be honest, it did serve as it said on the tin. 

Don't touch me!

AutoRickshaws: They don't like you touching them.

Do Not

Do not tell me that the coffee cup represents the letter "U". This is a donut shop called "Do Not".

If you want to take them up on their buy five get one free offer they're situated on Tran Hung Dao.

Toothpaste finds

There are a lot of products here that wouldn't see the light of day in other countries including Dr. White Silver toothpaste, also available is Dr. White Gold. It's clearly a highly advanced formula but one which I'm not sure there is much of a niche market.



Great, who wouldn't want a little oral disease functionality with their toothpaste?

A free gift came with it.



Oral me?
