Auto Lines 1

The auto-rickshaws, trucks, and cabs in our beloved city carry some wonderful lines. I have decided to blog all lines that capture my fancy.
I am not so creative so I am going to call it Auto Lines. If you have a better title let me know. Here goes:

LOVE IS GUEST. FRIENDSHIP IS BEST.

Noticed it on a rick on Mysore road. ;-)

Hi

I see funny auto lines and car lines too. Cant think of one now but I came across the following lines at a county store

"People who are afraid of cats might have been mice in their previous birth"

- I just couldn't help laughing when I read the same.

i have a great title but i'sa saving it for an article i hope to write someday aboutthe same thing. but here are some killers

love is slow poison.

trust a snake, but never trust a girl

woman is more dangerous than king cobra

jesus is coming soon. he is bringing new kidneys

love is mur-dear

hi sweety

and the finest, the most philosophical tinged with the crippling sadnes that inspires so many great works of art

road is not a race course, it is a life course.

feel free to append these to the previous ones

I wonder whether they really knew what "LOVE" is when they wrote it!!!

I used to read your story blog and am not able to find it anymore. Have you removed the link from your site?

reading your blog and you ever think about the fact that your blog is all contemporary stuff, not even social commentaries, just petty generalisations on inane articles about what people are pimping as life. your chasing glory big man, you don't have the time for this shit. you not a fucking movie reviewer, you not a fucking art critic, your a writer an artiste let loneliness bleed you dry. you chase silly opinion polls all your best dreams will end up in rags, if you want them gilted in gold you have to mine in the darkness, dig gown deep, go beneath the earth where only the foolhardy go and the lack af air to breathe the life that you are secure in should make you gasp for breathe and suffocate and then you'll be on your way. think about it baby, eitherway you'll still have to drink with me and me to drink with

I saw this on a MaxiCab or a Tempo Traveller once.

"Look but from Love"

I couldn't understand what it meant, then the hindi version caught my eye above it.

"Dekho magar Pyar Se"!

Read on a mortuary van:
"Innaikku naan, naalaikku nee"
(Today its me, you tomorrow)
Sounded corny but true... laughed at it initially but it me hard!

My favorite of all time

Exodus 33:14

I had to go look it up and it read

"My presence shall go with thee "

Somewhere in bangalore we have an autodriver of dazzling erudition who should get a rajyothsava award and any other that they might have lying around.
