![]() On long desolate stretches in areas like Sikkim or Ladakh (where the BRO is omnipresent), my favourite activity is to watch out for and make note of these signboards. I like to imagine that there is an extremely creative mind trapped in a dull job, writing up these slogans (never mind the occasional typo) to bring some cheer to life (his own and ours). The other reason for gratitude are their quirky, funny and some downright baffling signboards. The least that we owe this is to stop for a moment and offer a silent thanks for their hard work. In Himank, the project specific to Ladakh, the BRO personnel work in extreme cold temperatures on risky terrain laying and maintaining these roads. ![]() The BRO itself is one of my favourite agencies in the country, the way they make travel seem so easy and comfortable in some of the highest, steepest and most dangerous roads of India. Of all the things I enjoy about being on the road in India, the signboards from BRO (Border Roads Organisation) come somewhere at the top of the list.
