Bride under repair ... on the road!

Bumper stickers are a big thing in other countries, but in India, creativity flows in our veins. Therefore, it is not uncommon that even those who do not enjoy their time on the road, see something original written/painted on the back of a vehicle which brings a smile on their faces.

(Top photo) How are they going to accomplish this on the road,  in full view of moving traffic?


This auto driver seems to hate vehicles behind him honking, so he has a Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who’ll be a millionaire?) level question painted on the back.

What happens when you honk in traffic?

a.   The light turns to green sooner.
b.   The road widens
c.   The vehicle starts flying
d.   None of the above

Now we totally agree with that. Don’t we?

Simple warning by BRO, not the brother kind, but the Border Roads Organisation. They chose not to mention that the result of not protecting any other part of the body also does not exactly fall in the category of pleasure.

As far as I know most of the boards are painted by men. So, if a man admits it, who am I to contradict?

What does it mean in simple English? Women work as hard as four wheelers?

Did he bunk English classes in school or is he super honest and asking for porn to improve his driving skills?

Fell in love with it, the instant I got it from a friend. Don't believe it is in India? Please look at the HP sign, type and placing of the trashcan, the way cars are parked; it indeed is mera Bharat mahan (My India is great).

Even the most spiritual have respect for new technology and comfort. 

Hats off to Indian truck operators who have taken it up upon themselves to educate their followers (driving or parked behind them). This one advises-ghosts, demons and innocent wives are merely illusions, no such things exist!


This one is from our neighbouring land. Pray, what is the solution, I want to ask the Lahore civic authorities, but it does not give the name of the well-wisher. Is leaving your butt at home when you plan to race on the road, safer? How do you do that?

This too is obviously not in India, but the cuteness quotient won my heart. Don’t you too love the way it has been expressed?

Patriots for a day

Patriots for a day 'Sir, he has to hoist the tricolour on his house and he has the tricolour. He is asking for a house.'  Note: The Prime Minister had called out all Indians to hoist the national flag on their homes on Independence Day. I am a compulsive worrier, and very unselfish about it too. I do not need any personal problem/issue to worry about specifically. You tell me what is troubling you,  I shall have my stomach in knots for days.  I shall worry about it, obsess over it, and tell you all the aspects, pros and cons, possible solutions/remedies that my mental faculties can work out.  So, when a school mate said he was going shuddh bharatiya (pure Indian) this August 15, our Independence Day, I naturally went into my hyper grey cell activity time. I imagined him giving up everything that does not have Indian roots, and moving back in time. My first worry was about the time frame he had in mind. Was he talking of the pre-Aryan times? The Aryans, said to be Indo-Euro

Back with a firmer resolve

Back with a firmer resolve I am back in my chair looking out of the window, gathering directionless thoughts, and trying to put them in some order to share with you. Of course, as my readers, you have the right to ask the reason for my long absence. I was travelling and when back, had viral fever. We know how these seasonal ailments can drain one physically and mentally. Honestly, I recovered after a couple of weeks, but  I did not write. Within a few days I realized that I was missing addressing you. And that it was sheer laziness which was preventing me from writing. Not only writing, my needlework, which inspires me equally and brings me joy, also suffered. Laziness is a sin, procrastination is a bad habit blah, blah, blah, I know, and thousands of words to enumerate tips for fighting this can be found between the pages of magazines and books or in the ether world. Yet all of us sometimes fall prey to this. So, please excuse this little lapse and let me pick up the threads aga

A historic connection

A historic connection Uzbekistan Diary -1 Left: India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's bust Right: Street named after him (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) Two weeks ago, I had announced that I would be travelling and travel I did to a new foreign land, which Mani, a history buff, had for long wanted to visit, but which is still not explored/exploited much by visitors-especially west Europeans and Americans, i.e., Uzbekistan. We travelled with four others - a friend couple, their son, and a colleague. Two members of our group were nursing knee and foot injuries, so it is not a surprise that we did not visit as many places as we would have otherwise. I am, however, grateful that they were brave and supportive enough to not have the trip aborted. Our visit was only a week long and in the coming weeks I shall take you along on my journey of the four cities, including the places, people, food, shopping anything that sparked interest and stayed in my memory (no intellectual anal
