Owais Mughal

I found this photograph at Metroblogging Islamabad where it was posted by A for [Pine]Apple and found it too interesting. Please suggest a title.

A title that immediately comes to my mind is actually a verse from an Indian movie song which goes like this: ‘naukri sau ki hazaar ki, qeemat nahi hoti pyar ki’. My personal opinion on the photo is that it is such a waste to hire manual labor to clean speed limit signboards.

    ek sher yaad aata hai:

    is qadar umr-e-rawaaN beet chuki hai ab tou
    ek paaoN qabar pe hai to doosra dost ke kaaNdhay par

    rau meiN hai rakhsh-e-umr, kahaaN dekhiyay thamay
    nay haath baag par hai naa paa hai rakaab meiN

    for ATP and IMB , lol .Nice catch.

    Actually there is a competition among sign boards to be prominent. See that there are few others too, in background. So this one said why not stay high and be prominent.

    I guess nokri kee te nakhra kee is more appropriate.
