The best of Indian billboards

Last edited Mon Jun 27, 2016, 03:37 AM - Edit history (1)

These are called "hoardings"; they're somewhere between a billboard and a poster. People kind of just put them up whereever.



A dog's birthday announcement. The dogs (and cat) pictured at the bottom, Mani, Bruno, Brani, and Moti, are invited to the party.



You've got to kind of admire this.



"I lost my phone, so I got a Galaxy S4. Update your contact list"



This is a kind of awkwardly literal translation of a ceremony kind of like a bat mitzvah for when a girl "comes of age" and wears a saree for the first time. So, this is actually not a weird poster in itself but they probably ahould have kept it in Telugu...

Thanks for the interesting and informative inside look at your current environs. But you're getting pretty short now, aren't you? Preparing to return to the U.S. soon?
