A Bunch of Slogans

Posted by arshadamanullah on February 8, 2009

The following slogans posted by Mr. Amitabh Thakur of Faizabad at (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arkitectindia/message/5835 ), suggest a number of themes that constitute a part  of our contemporary reality:


# Sign on a railway station at Patna :
Aana free, jaana free,
pakde gaye to khana free.

# Seen on a famous beauty parlour in Bombay :
Don’t whistle at the girl going out from here.
She may be your grandmother!

# Seen on a bulletin board:
Success is relative
More the success, more the relatives.

# Sign at a barber’s saloon in Juhu, Bombay :
we need your heads to run our business.

# A traffic slogan:
Don’t let your kids drive if they are not old enough -
or else they never will be…..

# One popular SMS these days :
Its God’s responsibility to forgive the terrorist
organizations It’s our responsibility to arrange the meeting between
them and god.”
