I love the Indian sense of humour and also the occasions when something translated into English doesn't quite work. In addition, there are times when things are so well placed you cannot help but smile or gasp.
Here are a few pictures of things that have made me smile or draw breath on our trip so far:
The description of a Mojito, seen in a smart hotel's cocktail menu...
The selection of items provided in our bathroom (there are a group of people I enjoy punning with on Twitter, but even we wouldn't stoop to some of these)...
The description on Wikipaedia for heraldic lions rampant reads as follows:
India is famous for its IT and telephony capabilities, but this connection box made me smile - it adds a whole new dimension to making a trunk call...
How about this for deep water?

The description on Wikipaedia for heraldic lions rampant reads as follows:
A "lion rampant" is depicted in profile standing erect with forepaws raised.[2] The position of the hind legs varies according to local custom: the lion may stand on both hind legs, braced wide apart, or on only one, with the other also raised to strike; the word rampant is often omitted, especially in early blazon, as this is the most usual position of a carnivorous quadruped;But I bet they didn't mean like these ones...
