Beware of dog. Ok
Bang the gate. Ok. Oh wait, what's that?
Do not enter. Ok

What the hell is that second line supposed to convey?!

You sure have started a daily dose of entertainment, havent you!
Thanks be to you, we have a good laugh for a while

.

On another note, one bridge where I didnt expect wrong siders, has also started seeing such morons.
The new Wakdewadi-Vishrantwadi bridge is a piece of haven for us spirited drivers. Nice broad roads, medians throughout (well, at least most of the way) and no speedbreakers. Sure bliss to drive.

Now, in such a situation, you would least expect a moron, coming head on with hazards flashing. So, I did what I do best - scare the living daylights of such nincompoops.

Ah! Its such cheap thrills that make one's day, really.

An alternate doorbell? The door bell switch would be somewhere inside and because of 1 and 3, 2 is the only solution!

Thanks guys, but I am not looking at literal meaning of the second line. Or that signboard near KNP. It has different connotations when read with a non Indian perspective. It would be downright embarrassing especially in Europe for sure!

yep, this is the time when I wish my bike transformed into a XUV or a Fortuner. Scaring the living daylights out of such morons is pure unadulterated fun as long as they dont harm anyone. Its like scaring a pigeon. You want to scare it enough that it flies away, not so much that it poops on your window sill.

Hmmm...and I was trying to ignore 'that' meaning. I thought you are such a nice person, so let's not allow my dirty mind to interprete that in any other way.

Here is another signboard seen ar Warje. A new groundbreaking concept of designing - 'Inertial designing'.

Saw these on the walls of a open air hotel and a public toilet,asking public Not to spit, but is it for the public or BMC itself.

Hotel guy wants to satisfy everyone.
