India’s truck drivers and auto rickshaw enthusiasts are a vibrant bunch, determined to squeeze every ounce of humor from life. They channel their comedic flair through witty messages proudly showcased on the rear ends of their vehicles. Cruise down a highway, and you’re sure to be greeted with an abundance of laughter or, at the very least, a sly smile when these trucks adorned with amusing messages roll by. Recently, a truck driver stole the spotlight with a particularly quirky message that had everyone in splits. The ‘Hinglish’ used in the message brought back memories of our middle school attempts at linguistic acrobatics—oh, the nostalgia!

If that doesn’t ring a bell, the now-viral picture will surely take you on a trip down memory lane.

Commentators were quick to jump on the fun bandwagon, with one quizzically stating, “Bad Face Nazar will Wale be your black – I didn’t get it even in Hinglish.” Another humourously remarked, “When you are back in India after 6 months onsite.” Meanwhile, a third contributor playfully added, “Abuse ka tarika thoda casual nahi hai?”
