Shop very close to Jaipur on Delhi-Jaipur highway NH-8:
This signboard is dirty. Oh! Not for the pun in the syllabic-abbreviation S EK C — but the actual dirt on it!

On the way from Shenzhen to Hong Kong:

Thanks for the mention, Rahul!

Would be eye5’s pleasure to share some Jamaai Ice-cream with you.

Also, eye5 is now open for guest contributions. Do pass on such stuff. More power to our painters!
