During the journey from Manali to Leh, and to other places in Ladakh, the roadsigns by Border Roads Organization constantly entertained me. I managed to note down some, listed here. If you recall having seen any more of those funny signs from BRO that are frequently seen all along the Himalayas, do post them in the comments.<\/p>\n
Curves are blind and sharp
\nDrive your vehicle like playing a harp<\/p>\n
After drinking whiskey
\ndriving is risky<\/p>\n
Safety on road is
\nsafe tea at home<\/p>\n
Know aids no aids<\/p>\n
111 rcc tan tana tan<\/p>\n
Don’t gossip, let him drive<\/p>\n
Don’t be a gama
\nin the land of lama<\/p>\n
Drive, don’t fly<\/p>\n
Be gentle on my curves<\/p>\n
Fast won’t last<\/p>\n
If you sleep
\nyour family will weep<\/p>\n
Gati yane durgati<\/p>\n
Life is short
\ndon’t make it shorter<\/p>\n
Enemies of the road
\nliquor, speed and load<\/p>\n
Drive slower
\nlive longer<\/p>\n
Driving risky
\nafter whiskey<\/p>\n
Mountains are a pleasure
\nonly if you drive with leisure<\/p>\n
Life is precious
\nDo not waste it.<\/p>\n
Short cut may cut short your life<\/p>\n
Heaven or hell or mother earth
\nchoice is yours<\/p>\n
He who touches ninety
\nflies to die at nineteen<\/p>\n
Drive on horsepower
\nnot on rum power<\/p>\n
It is not rally
\nenjoy the valley<\/p>\n
Go fast and test our recovery
