Hindustan Times does it again. Sticking to their tradition of terrible reporting in anything even remotely technical, HT went ahead and confused RSS feed subscribers with RSS feeds. Oh look, how big feet that HT reporter has! Oh look, how snugly the feet fit into her mouth! Oh look, HT reporters need bootcamps in basic technology!
I came across this traffic sign near the Engineers India Limited office in Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi. I’m not sure, but I think the Bhikaji Cama Place traders’ association must have an annual raffle for the goofiest signs around (re: Engineers India Limited). Dilli policewallahs might have misunderstood the raffle rules – and erected signs of their own. And it’s not just one sign – there are 4-5 effing same ‘No Elephants Allowed’ signs in that area near Hyatt Regency. I can picture the frantic calls from police vans right now: “Officer, get some goddamn RPG launchers here already! There’s a ponderous pachyderm backing into the Hyatt Regency driveway without any tail-lights on!”
Honestly, it’s this kind of stuff which still propagates the belief foreigners have that India is a land of snake charmers and mahouts with elephants. When Delhi Traffic Police has to put up signs to prevent elephants from walking into a major commercial office hub. It Happens Only In India™! I wonder how common an occurrence this is to warrant such a measure. Workers of offices located in Bhikaji Cama please shed some light here. 😉
