I was browsing Mridula's blog where I learnt about 'The 5 Hilarious Travel Photos Contest'....As I saw Mridula's posts for the contest, I was reminded of all the funny/weird pictures that never see the light of the day. The contest sounded like a lot of fun and although I knew I was way past the deadline I thought, "why not??"....So here I am looping through my digital photo collection, trying to find the right pictures...turns out I have way too many funny pictures of myself rather than pictures that would be funny minus me...I found some interesting pictures during my search that I thought would make a better post than hilarious pictures of the self...Oh well, guess this preamble is good enough..
I spotted this shack on my hike to Lohagad ...it seemed to have sprung up in the middle of nowhere just to cater to the hikers w/ a multi-cuisine appetite...the location of the shack and also the hoarding left me amused...
This picture has been taken during a trip to Rishikesh last summer....We were roaming around in the market when this man, face painted and sitting outside the resturant caught my eye...what an interesting way to attract foodies to the restaurant I thought...
Although I was amused by the places and the people running them...I think I am impressed more than amused.....I think there is a lot that one can learn from these people....Being passionate about one's work, faith, hardwork, creativity, ingenuity, understanding and providing for customer's needs, to name a few...What say??
May these joints have all the customers that they can serve!

I love the first photo for its seriousness - woman carrying the kid (probably her son/daughter) tells a lot about the struggle and perseverance of the owners :)
Second one is just hilarious - also tells many tactical ways of attracting customers. can't stop rofl-ing....
PS: I miss such things :(
@gowtham: I agree....the 1st time I saw the 1st picture I burst out laughing 'coz the pronounciation of Chinese was a 'lil skewed ;) ....the amusement only lasted a while...the perseverance and attitude of the owners is what has lingered...
Hey, I have read your marathi blog and this is the first time i visited the impressions.... good ones :-) all of them. But this post felt closer to me as I have been to lohgad trek 2-3 times and been to this place for food. It was so good to have hot food at the end of rainy trek. :-) I still feel the happiness I had after the meal. :-D But I missed this board for sure...
Keep clicking and writing..

Interesting insights...often moments like these lend a great character to the trip ...the second pic is a typical Made in India pic ...
