Himank is
the border-roads association in Ladakh, also known as the 81HCC (highway
corps). They maintain what they claim to be the highest roads in the world,
as well as the airport here. In these Himalayan mountains, the roads are
often one-lane with cliffs below. Trucks or busses passing each other often
only have an inch or two to spare. To ease the tension, they often put
yellow signs by the side of the road, many of which are quite funny. Here is
the list I've compiled. And, due to the nature of this post, it will be
posted in both Storytelling, and Trailhead Register.
Himank: Part of the life of Ladakh and proud of it!
Himank cares where eagles dare.
Well-laid roads for your well-being.
Himank: The symbol of national integrity.
Help us to serve you better.
You are traveling pothole-free in the land of the 81RCC.
Yes, you are right, it is Himank at your service.
Can you guess who maintains this highest airfield in the world?
The journey of life is long and the path unknown.
Whether you’re African or American, we’re all human.
Life is precious, avoid speed.
Help us to keep the roads clean and green.
Make today an accident free day.
If you’re married, divorce speed.
Peep, peep, don’t sleep.
Please drive slowly, someone is waiting for you.
AAAA = Always Alert Avoid Accidents.
ABCD = Always Believing in Cautious Driving.
Please take care, make accidents rare.
Take heed, don’t speed.
If you sleep, your family will weep.
No race, no rally, enjoy the beauty of the valley.
Keep your nerve on the curve.
Be gentle on my curves.
Don’t be a gamma (Indian wrestler) in the land of the lama.
For safe arriving, no liquor while driving.
Drive on muscle power, not rum power.
After whiskey, driving’s risky.
If you drink bourbon, you’ll lose your turban.
Drinking scotch, you’ll hit the rocks.
Arrive in peace, not pieces.
Be a Mr. Late, not a Late Mr.
Be a careless overtaker and you’ll meet the undertaker.
Drive like hell and you’ll be there. |
