Only in India - the weirdest photo



This was taken in Jammu, in the gardens of the Amar Mahal Museum.
Promenading has no specific ban, so I felt happy doing that. Roving, jaunting, and jogging seems to be OK, also tiptoeing, hopping, prancing, or cavorting generally. Just make sure that you don't STROLL !!!

Comments on this one, please...

And now, what about your own photo - OK, I'm sure you have one that's even weirder - lets see it...

Keep off the bloody grass!

Wonder, what they'll do if they do catch someone strolling.

"your honour, this man is is arrested for disorderly conduct"

what did he do?

strolling in the park.

and?

ummm...that's it, your honour; he was strolling where he was not supposed to.

Honeymoon couples love to visit the Botanical Gardens in Ooty.

They can enjoy themselves up to a point, but plucking is prohibited!

Masochists could visit Chennai's 24 Hour Puncher Stall ...but I'm afraid I don't have a pic

...there was an IT company in Bangalore carrying a signboard on its compound wall – Trespassers will be recruited!

Not sure if this is the weirdest photo ever, but my hubby and I spent a good hour contemplating this sign early one morning at a Mumbai train station. In the end we decided it would be easier to take a photo and let everyone else try to explain it!

Sometimes you simply can't enjoy yourself in India...

This isn't one of mine, but it appears from time to time on the internet. I think it was taken in Bihar, where a glass of that is very welcome at any time...

PS - in case you are wondering, its a misspelling of 'Chilled Beer'.
