While driving on the road, there is a lot of entertainment in the name of shops.
At one corner, our dear Lord Pandhari has become a paan merchant. In another lane, He has become a dry-cleaner. Our revered saint Sai Baba has to play multiple roles in the span of a few kilometers. He is an expert hairdresser, an excellent tailor, and can make amazing kulfi. He is an efficient dabbewala, and a world-class istriwalla. Sri Sai Baba owns a fleet of buses, trucks, and lorries. He can ferry you around in vans or small cars.
Now-a-days, hospitals have even mountain ranges as their namesake. We have the Sahyadri Hospital here, and we also have the Himalaya Healthcare. Unfortunately, the height of the hospitals is not proportional to the height of the mountain ranges.
The Woodlands restaurant is famous for its seafood. It is perhaps the only wood in the world where sea food is abundantly available - for a price, of course.
The Goddess Lakshmi is sometimes forced to supervise hotel management, and the Goddess Saraswati is a very efficient tea-stall manager. Jejuricha Khanderaya makes excellent sweets, and the Lord Krishna provides nutritious and sumptuous breakfast. On the other hand, Krishna's Basuri can conjure up excellent south-Indian food.
You can get good Chinese food in fountain spots, but there will be no fountains around. You can find two chat corners in a single lane that has no corners to speak of.
As I said, driving on the roads can be very entertaining. Shops keep changing, malls keep coming up, roads keep changing directions, and life still goes on.

Ultimate! Remembered these two shop names: "Sachin Dhulai Kendra," and "Lakshmi Mutton Shop."
Liked this post. Keep more such coming.
Nice post Mukta! I remembered a board in front of a dry clean shop: "Yethe swachha kapade dhovun miltil." Koni yana swachha kapade ka dyavet dhuvayala.. ;)
Nice read... had good laugh, also recollected a few "board-reading" tales ...board(s) on which few words/letters were missing ... one place in Pune "Venkatesh(Shudhha Shakahari)", the word hotel had been wiped off. In heart of Bangalore city where the glow signs meant to attract customers unknowingly desist them... HOTEL CHANDIKA ... the R letter failed to light-up... Khoop majja aali vachtana. Thanks !!!
