Bangalore Traffic Police

I was having a look at the Bangalore Police’s website when these two inadvertenly positioned titles [marked in red below], that when read together as a sentence make up for a totally different meaning, caught my eyes.

A few other masterpieces from their site:

Do not swear suddenly if you come across any obstructions

Remove ‘Please Horn’ sign on your vehicle - you can’t here the horn any way in all the noise.

Brahma Kamala

This week I was glad to see a few Brahma Kamalas bloom in my garden. These flowers are considerered very special since they bloom only once a year and last only for a few hours. The flowers begin to bloom from the corners of the plant’s big leaves and not from the stem. They start blooming only after sunset around 7 PM, bloom fully around 10 - 11 PM, stay for one hour and then start withering.

This picture was taken around 10:35 PM using a Canon 400 D, f/6.3, 1 sec, Manual - Bulb.

The most annoying website

This one. Most of the links don’t work, and that damn chopper which hovers in between the links and the mouse pointer just tests your patience.

Why a copter guys? Couldn’t you have put an animated Scorpio, if at all you had to put something there?
