Illegal number plates

In India the law is more often on paper. A simple legal requirement of correct number plates for motor vehicles is not followed. And ironically it is the law makers themselves who break the laws most often. It is as if they have a separate legal code for themselves. Clearly India is a democracy only in name. In reality we have a feudal system. Perhaps not as bad as some middle eastern and african countries, but feudal just the same. These number plates are not just to satisfy the egos of politicians but also to ensure that any other violated traffic laws are NOT easily traced back to their vehicle. These types of vehicles are more likely to break other traffic laws.

Written in fancy lettering, this number plate in Devanagari script is illegal. It should be MH04 GM201. As the little red flag reveals, this vehicle belongs to someone in a political party.

This car has brazen added the words MLA to the number plate, clearly to intimidate policemen and the public.

This one is an older photograph, but it is also a politician's car.

These numbers which are supposed to be 4141 look like the word "dada" in devanagari script. Height of stupidity. Dada means don.

Significance of Nandi in Hinduism

Nandi, the bull is what Lord Shiva uses for transport. In Hinduism, Gods are often depicted with their favourite animals, whether cows, elephants, snakes, turtles or even rats! Used either as pets or vehicles. This made animals sacred for many centuries and this is what helped preserve our wildlife although now the influences of the West has changed us to some extent.

Won the South Korean currency

The Won (₩) or KRW is the currency of South Korea. One won is 100 jeon, which is the monetary sub-unit. The North Korean Won is different and not pictured here.

The coins lying on top of the notes are Won coins. 1000 Wons is actually small change because today 1000 wons will not even buy 1 dollar, the rate today being 1027 Wons for 1 USD.

Though shown here, 10 Won coins have been demonetized in South Korea years ago. The photographs are of 1000 Won currency notes and some 10, 100, and 50 Won coins.
