>PS: BTW what exactly is 'child beer' ?

Oh! C'da... that is your regular 'Chilled beer'  -  what we call a 'cold
one'

The signs on trucks  often carry signs like 'Horndo'... which translates to
' Horn do' or to give horn (literally).

During the 'emergency' (Indira Gandhi's time), one would often find oil
tankers carrying signs on the side

HGHLY INFLAMABLE
 Nation on the move

Obviously, the second line was added later to make the 'emergency' look
good.

 Careful Ram. There is a law against it .

But you know what, this "--damned English language" is not a problem limited to
the down and out or the "unpodh"( unschooled) . It is as desi a phenomenon as 
'Goneshe gaakhir khowa'
or "jeyei lonkaloi jai xeyei raabon hoy".

Now,now C'da, where is that sense of humor? :-)

"Cows sunbathing on expressways. Bare-bodied sadhus on cellphones. Chappal
combats in 
Parliament.
Spitting and urinating in public places. Chaos, golmaal, jugaad... all
pieces of a vast multi-cultural mosaic called India."

I agree, some of these like 'Chappal combats in Parliament' and the civic
habits ingrained into generations of everyday Indians are easy targets,
and we have to forgive them for they know not what they do :-)

But you got to admit, there is some humor there

> the times you have seen signs saying "child beer" or heard people entering

Now, I have to get some of that 'child beer'.

 Let's celebrate a day in the life of India Feb 3, 2011, 03.04am IST
  Cows sunbathing on expressways. Bare-bodied sadhus on cellphones. Chappal
combats in 
Parliament.
Spitting and urinating in public places. Chaos, golmaal, jugaad... all
pieces of a vast multi-cultural mosaic called India.

The Times of India invites the entire nation to come together to help create
this mosaic, with A Day in the Life of
India.
All you need to do is to shoot a photo or video , draw a cartoon or just
tell us a joke , on anything you feel makes India, India. You can come up
entirely with your own idea of what to create, or take up one of various
assignments we have drawn up under each of these categories. For example, a
video on "the chaos on our roads", or a photograph on bizarre signboards
messages.

The best entries stand a chance to win attractive cash prizes ranging from
Rs 10,000 to Rs 5 lakh as well as loads of cool merchandise - whacky
T-shirts, crazy bags and mugs, all with images that say: this happens only
in India. And what's more, the best work will be showcased prominently in
The Times of India, Times Now, Zoom and Radio Mirchi.

So how do you get started? First, just log on to our dedicated website for
this programme, www.day.in .

Take inspiration from the loads of cutting-edge material already put up
there - great ads from the past and present, hilarious photographs and
cartoons from TOI's archives and more. Then put on your thinking caps, pull
out your cameras (or sharpen your pencils) and create your own take on how
"we are like that only". Or simply keep your eyes and ears open; there's no
dearth of mad, loony, frustrating or plain absurd things you'll come across
in your daily life to capture on camera.

Once you have your photo, video, cartoon or joke to submit, just upload it
on the site; (it's very simple, much like how it is on popular video or
social networking sites). Or, simply join the conversations taking place on
the website. Share your comments on all the stuff that's featured there, or
take part in simple contests like captioning pictures or completing jokes.

So how about celebrating all the quirks that make India the unique place it
is?

Some of the themes that you could explore in your entry

Chalta Hai India : Don't we all know the infamous "I don't care" attitude.
Dumping garbage on roads, playing cards at work, cops sleeping on duty...
the list is endless!

Pushy India : We love pushing and shoving, be it in a bank queue, on a
public transport or at ticket counters.

Overloaded India : Typical scenes of over-usage of capacity of all kinds...
remember the famous Fevicol ad?

Bizarre India : We inherit the strangest of customs, rituals and
superstitions and pass it on generations after generations, like idols
drinking milk, walking barefoot on fire, etc.

Golmaal India : Bribery, underhand nexus, cutting corners, phoney red
lights, touts and fake brands.

Jugaad India : We invented this phenomenon. It is all about bending and
bypassing rules to get a job done.

Chaotic India: We live in complete disarray, no lane driving, chaotic
parking, queues for procuring ration and temples on Thursdays...

Technicolour India : A medley of colours that India is... ghagra cholis,
kitschy trucks, Holi ke rang, etc.

Incredible 
India:
The beauty and heritage of India, the monuments, wildlife, beaches and
the
resplendence of festivals.

Sign of the Times : The happy-go-lucky use of English in India. Remember all
the times you have seen signs saying "child beer" or heard people entering a
building from the "backside".

Points to remember

* One person can submit more than one entry

* A panel of judges will select the award-winning entries. The popularity of
the content on the website will also be looked into.

* Only original entries will be accepted. Further, entries should not be
pornographic, offensive or sensitive in nature.

* The contest is open till March 15, 2011

Glad Buljit posted a corrected version. 

Reading his first post, one cannot decide if the event was in the past or going 
to be in the future. 
Looking at the date it read as if it happened on 4th of January, 2011. But then 
one would
have to wonder why it became news a month later? So it seemed like Buljit was 
using the American
system of writing dates--Month/date/year.  That could mean it was a prediction 
for the future, 4th of April, 2011.
If it was a future seismic event predicted, which is quite common in 
desi-science, astrological or otherwise, it could have
been an unwise thing to spread.

Bottom line: Brevity does have merit, SOMETIMES! It can be a source of 
misinformation as well as 
of NO information.

Here is a link from *IRIS* (*Incorporated Research Institutions for

If the mouse is moved to the circle on the map covering India/Myanmar
border, it shows this: (Feb 4, 6.4 mag at 13:53 UTC).

It is interesting to note that there were also bit milder quakes on Feb 1
(Indo China border), and on Jan 27 (Indo-Myanmar border)

When you forward such alarmist news, warning, prank or plain gobledy-gook, you 
must EXPLAIN where you got such info.,
do your due diligence on its credibility and so forth. Otherwise you will be 
complicit
in spreading unfounded fears or a hoax.
