Our romantic auto driver !!



My fav pass time when I drive is to see all the wacky things people write on the back of their auto or trucks... Many of them tell you a little bit about the driver… I feel like most autodrivers are hopeless romantics and have been ditched badly... I am sure you have seen the blood oozing heart with a knife going through it...

This blog is dedicated to all those wacky things I have seen written on automobiles. My friend Suman and I saw some unforgetable things on our lastest North east trip

Indian roads brought to your door

·         Horn OK Please

(though there are loads of sites and blogs for this.. I still don’t get it.. It is supposedly rude to honk in the US but here, we put up boards requesting people to honk..)

·         PO PO HORN

(PO PO = the sound that comes out when one blows a truck horn.. hehe… this was seen on all trucks in Shilong)

·         HORN do

(Do = “do” the horn… gosh, I cant believe all the things that come to mind when I see this !!!!)

·         Keep it “rear”

(Supposed to mean, stay at the rear, don’t try to overtake … but this gives a completely different meaning !!!!)

·         No girlfriend; no tainsain

(Tainsain = Tension – pronunciation taken too seriously)

·         Beep beep, don’t sleep. If you sleep family will weep

(I kinda like the ring to this one !!)

·         We two ; ours one

(Indian truck driver's way of spreading the idea of family planning.. I kinda dont understand why we use trucks to carry this message.. )

·         Save rain water; have only 2 kids

(I seriously dont know about this one..But if I can take a wild guess...I think it is inspired by bollywood movies where rain/monsoon is shown as a romantic time to make babies :) )

·         A beautiful girl's kiss is more poisonous than a snakes bite

(A sadistic auto driver who has been ditched many times)

·         Nobody remains virgin, life f***s everyone

(Again, don’t know why trucks have to carry such a deep, meaningful, philosophical message)

SAVING THE BEST FOR THE LAST

·         Keep distance, horny please

(I am not making this up.. I seriously saw this one......I am only HOPING it is a spelling mistake)
