other day i was discussing with one my friends about how funny addresses can become ( specially in india). At least in US i think address are plain with "downtowns" and "avenues" making their presence felt. Agreed , "address" in other countries must be equally "crazy" but i need to explore . My "desi" friends please help me in this regard :)
So i would like to start with what sunil pal did sing in "great indian laughter challenge". So funny it was...actually he was mimicking one village fellow reading his brother's address while singing...
"on 14th road my brother living , his name kalu rasia......opposite post-office there is telephone 'boothwa'.... "(missing later part of this song..failed to trace the video on our college LAN , hence full lyrics ).
Moving on i would to cite some funny names of roads in india
#dharamsala road (almost in all indian towns )
#amroodwali gali (in patna )
#maachali wali gali (in patna )
#parathewali gali (chandani chowk, want to visit this place :) )
#puriwali gali (varanasi )
#hartali more (patna )
many more...list can be really long. I think this can be material of proper research..hehe
In india we have "gandhi chowk" and "gandhi maidan" in every indian town..err cities as well. And funny part comes when the addresses get into conversation....ex in patna there is "income tax chauraha".
so asking "autowalah"
hey...will u go to income-tax?......so funny!!
when we write address..some things easily get into the address like..near the "temple/mosque", "transformer" (really happens) ,"post-office","in-front of particular persons home".....hehe...list goes on and on.
before closing : everyone please do write some "strange" things about the addresses you know.
cheers!!....by folks
