One thing I love about India is the signage, especially the notices you see posted in public places.  I like that there is a profusion of notices and instructions everywhere... trains, taxis, doors, awnings, etc.  And the things they tell you can be pretty funny.

On a plane, one of the warnings was "The life jacket under your seat is for emergencies only. Removing it from the aircraft is a criminal offense."  Isn't it a bit endearing that someone out there considers taking the life jacket?

Today, on the metro, I read a fire prevention sign.  It listed various items that are prohibited on trains... firecrackers, flamable gases, etc.  And item #3 warned "Do not light up stove or sigri."  On a train.  I guess it makes sense because Calcutta has so many homeless and itinerant people... but still.
