Easy are observations

The signal turned red and the traffic came to a standstill. I took a closer look at the message hanging on the rear glass of the car in front. As in many other cases, I expected it to say 

"Baby inside" 

or 

"Crooked Street" 

or 

"My son studies in Pennsylvania University". 

I was wrong; it simply said 

"I don't brake for anyone"

I was flummoxed (Damn! Where did that word come from?). I have been driving for sometime and have seen a number of ridiculous signs but nothing like this. I couldn't figure out what it meant. Was there an inner or double meaning in there? Should I replace "brake" with "break"? I sifted through all the options in my head but nothing made sense. I came to the conclusion it's a "I feel the need for speed" type of statement.

The signal turned green and the vehicles started moving. But the "don't brake" car in front stood still. Since I have taken the vow of being a polite driver, I waited for 10 seconds. Nothing happened; I gave the fellow a short honk (a short honk is defined as a honk that lasts less than a second). Nothing happened; I gave him a not-so-short honk (not-so-short honk is defined as a honk that lasts less than 4 second). Nothing happened; I starting grinding my teeth and froth started collecting at the edges on my lips. I gave a hell-of-a-honk (hell-of-a-honk is defined as a honk that consists of a series of three blasts with each blast progressing from 3 to 6 to 9 seconds respectively). The car started moving. I twisted my steering wheel to the left and zoomed past Mr. "Don't brake".

A little later I realised the meaning of the message. The person drives so slow that air resistance was enough to stop the car. Hence he/she does not feel the need to use the brake.

On ECR, there exists a men's wear shop named "Girls are not allowed" with the first 'L'  in the shape of a girl from a James bond movie title.

Further down on ECR exists a bar and something else called dudu (Yeah, its called dudu!). They have a stylized board to announce their existence. The two d's start at middle, curve to the left prior to going down and then they curve right prior to going up. They don't stop going up till they go up for sometime. Then they stop and stand erect looking at the sky. The first 'd' is not much of an issue. It looks like a plain old 'd' but that's not the case with the second one. The first time I saw the board, I uttered a "What the...". The "dudu"seemed like someone showing all the passers-by the middle finger. Then I realized its only a "dudu".
