It could be just anything that makes you smile ....it can be the silliest or wierdest thing..like the one liners written at the back of a truck.....apart from the usual ones like - 'horan pelease' and 'buri nazar wale, tera muh kala', here is one more I saw yesterday---
'latak mat, patak dunga! '

u knw ,'bure nazar wale ,tera mooh kala' is something that keeps flashing in my mind too..and it makes me smile too:)
ps:seriously..I wish u wer in second year right now.
It can be scary too.:) Last july I and a few of my friends were driving back from khandala to mumbai.It was weekend and It was raining heavily and the tragedy is I don't know to drive slow:) neither do I allow anyone else to drive my skoda.. my favt. amongst all. So we were 4 persons thundering down to mumbai @ top speed and that too at dusk, with fog levels a bit high too and raining heavily.. The guy sitting next to me (surgeon by proffession but a kg kid in heart:P) was pleading me to slow down.. I was my normal self saying kuch nahi hoga Bhagwan pe barosa rakh and this is not the first time I am driving in such conditions..:)) Then achanak out of nowhere there comes a big petrol tanker in front of my car. I mean it may be moving in its pace but its backlights were not on and with visibility being less and upar se evening ka time with sun almost set it was not visible at once and looking at our speed we almost dashed it from behind:P but somehow GOD's grace was there on v foolish people that day ha ha ha!!! managed to apply brakes and the car speedometer drastically dipped from 180kmph to 60kmph within seconds. Later we overtook the tanker, stopped it and the frantic sugeon hurled the choicest of abuses on the driver of that petrol tanker for riding without having a back light. Infact we were surprised by the knowledge of vocabulary of the surgeon, he had surpassed us all:P, much to his embarassment, Then others noted the truck no. as well (intimidating the trucker duo as if complaint karenge, but really speaking by the time we reached mumbai, the paper on which the no. was noted was missing:D.) But the chilly part was the way out of blue this huge tanker surfaced in front of us almost out of nowhere and we were unaware of a tanker moving juz a few feet ahead of us without having its backlight in a working condition, we were nonchantly cracking jokes and suddenly this big oily black tanker in front.And to top it the words which were written on the back of the tanker. I generally never read those, and even if done, never remember them but the whole episode, the look and feel of the tanker and the wordings were somewhat a heady cocktail to forget so will never forget those words which went as:- "Laash thi isliye tairati rahi,doobne ke liye jindagi chahiye." It was soooooooooo creepy.:)). Anyways applied the thoda bahut mind jo hai:P in time and was not shocked or paralytically confused but immediately slammed the brakes as well as the hand brakes at the same time, taking full control of the steering with both hands and even seeing in the rear view mirror inorder to dogde the vehicles which may be coming behind my car at top speed as well and which may have banged into mine in the melee.. So a major accident averted.. and a nice verse learnt. ha ha ha!!!.. ---Akshat..
