De-Funck-t

Seen in New Delhi. "Amezing Collection - Funcky Guy's". 'Nuff said.

Why do you even try?

This classic is from an office door on Cunningham Road, Bangalore. Gets the message across pretty clearly in-spite of the rampant abuse of the English language, I must admit!

Don't you get it?

Taken in London, somewhere near Oxford street. Just to be absolutely clear what you are walking into...

School or college?

Oxford, England offers some googlies too. Which one is it - school or college?

The Scots have it too!

Yes, the Scots talk funny. Seriously! This was a Souvenir shop in Edinburgh, Scotland. This'll do nicely!

For a rainy day...

This one was taken at a Sev-puri stall in Saket, New Delhi. The stall was just outside a State Bank of India branch office, so I am guessing all the "saving" rubbed off on the Sev-puri as well...

Word Games

English humour rocks! This one was taken in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street, London. A laundry shop with the tagline "We will dye for you"!

The English ain't that English either!

This one's a classic - taken in London. The English don't have their English right after all! Let the poor zebra cross, it's having a rough day :)

Advertising at its best!

This one from Jayanagar 4th Block. It incorporates everything you learn in B-school marketing - product differentiation (Excluzive), customer choice (virty) and a catchy brand name to go with it (Melange). I bet this guy was an IIM grad :P

A thousand words... and more!

After a long time missing, here I am again! I am starting a series of pictures taken in various locations, showcasing the vast reach of the English language. If you think English hasn't penetrated to the common man in India, think again! Of course, the usage of the language is open to interpretation. Do I see the grammar mafia starting a movement soon?



Good Intentions: I am sure they meant "Plastic Free Zone" :)
