Humor on road
Have been thinking of posting this for a few days.
The boards on shops in Bangalore are some times hilarious. Provided you still have patience to get amused in the terrible traffic.
There is a liquor shop in Hosakerehalli which has a name Scotch Yard. OK, what is funny in that? Nothing, except for the fact that in Kannada the board says "skoth haad"(ಸ್ಕಾಚ್ ಹಾದ್ ). Well, did the painter was the under the influence of scotch or its desi version while painting the board? Or is it just a typo?
In the same area, there is a board in front of a tiny eatery which says "bhanuvara illi kaalu soupu siguttade". "Sunday you get leg soup here". The question is whose leg - yaara kaalu? Whoever asks such silly questions?
Google later told me that goat leg soup is a delicacy in Mandya area which I was not aware of. So may be that is the case. You can visit the eatery without fear if you fancy a kaalu supu. Thank God.
And I used to observe a board in BSK complex. The board belongs to the fancy pizza place. The name in Kannada read ಪಿಡಜಾ ಪ್ಲೇಸ್. What the hell is a pidaja place? Might be the work of a mother who is highly frustrated with pidaja and her children's obsession with it.
So we need to find humor by making an effort in any situation. (And force them down the throat of others by blogging about them)
