Getting Board?

When my wife's cousin, Ashwin came down from Bangalore for a brief stay recently, I found some really funny signboards and stuff that he had clicked while on the move.

So when I requested him to share it with me for posting on my blog, he was kind enough to agree.

"Mere Paas Maa hai"


Certainly couldn't be for sale with biscuits and snacks? This Maa turned out to be some Mango juice, Maaza or its distant cousin...thankfully!

"If US offers HotDogs, we offer Veg Pups"


Before Maneka Gandhi and the animal activists descend on the scene, let me clarify that inquiries revealed that they were offering Veg Puffs and Egg Puffs!

Now here are some chatpata "Name-keens", as Ashwin calls them

"Baap Ka Maal" it says. Attitude indeed!


"Pocket Faad ke" Do they mean our wallet? Perhaps!


That's "do aur do paanch" - Adds up to more!

Funny Restaurant Board

Can you figure this out? You get the restaurant along with ...?

Funny Zoo Sign


Funny Dog Sign


What we can call a Sureshot Message Sign


Looking for directions? Check out this Funny Roadsign


Do you find yourselves at such junctures at times?

You have been warned!


Apparently some were found on the information superhighway! Thanks for the pics, Ashwin!

hehehe, nice signs :) I had seen a sign once that had a text "no right turn" and a picture of 'Left turn prohibited' below it :) It was a T-junction.

Gopinath's "Artickles" said...

Solilo, yes PETA would send some campaigners there soon enough.

Manju, Sakhi, Smitha - Thanks!

Vinodji - Ha ha! This comment deserves to be on the main blog!
If we bloggers get shot, the police will register a case of "pesticide"!
