A unique menu card :)

I spotted this place in Carter Road, Bandra. There is a sandwichwala there who makes awesome sandwiches. Add to it the warm smile he radiates every now and then. The picture that you see above is of his son holding the Menu.

What makes this menu card so special? The sandwichwala is deaf and dumb. So the best way for him to understand what you would want in your sandwich would be through that menu. Just put your finger on the drawing of the ingredients you would want - cucumber, tomato, butter, cheese, sauce, chutney etc. The drawing is very basic but where communication is concerned it scores 10/10.

Design Disaster :(

I recently came across this on a train, on my journey back home . A young girl was playing snakes and ladders with her dad. What really caught my attention and why i have included this picture in my blog is the token or the 'goti' had swastik embossed on it.

what makes me upset is when designers ignore the significance of elements and randomly use it. Why keep it to the Swastik, why not have Lakshmi's feet instead.

The Bengali touch

Christmas or Diwali?

Taken during Diwali, definitely gives a feeling of christmas!

The male/female divide just got thinner :)

Saw my colleague (male) with this today...

Today quite a things have gotten uni. But this was the last thing i expected to see. I used to see my mom and my aunts carry these. Probably next time I meet them, they would be carrying Manchester United key chains, who knows :)

An enterprising mind! :)

Spotted this guy last thursday (Oct 1), outside andheri station. This is the first time I have seen someone sell tea-cups this way. If you see the area which has been circled in red, you will understand. This guy has actually fitted a tubelight to his cart so that people don't have a problem seeing his products (at night, ofcourse!)

The way to a paan lover's heart is through a heart-shaped paan :)

On saturday, I had paan at this particular place opposite churchgate, where the paanwala actually cuts the betel leaf in the shape of a heart. He shapes the paan with the help of this customised heart shaped marble. Interesting!
