What's in a name?

What would India be without these?

1. “CHILD BEAR AVAILABLE” for chilled beer somewhere in Bihar.
2. “PRAVEEN TOING” for a tow truck company in Bombay. When I helpfully pointed out that the latter word was misspelt, the owner helpfully pointed out that so was the first. His wife’s name is Parveen.
3. “COMA MEDICALS” for a chemist in Vyanad, Kerala
4. “HOTEL DECENT” just in case you thought this Baroda restaurant was a truly posh joint.
5. “FRIZZ DA SALON” as in Frizz venumma da? That one’s Chennai,folks.
