One of "those" things about pune -- puneri patya !
"Patya" are notices/warnings meant for the onlooker, meant to convey some information. What sets some of them apart is when these 'patya' become overtly loud and informal in language. The result being - they become more a source of humor than of any real information.
Take a look at this sampling of puneri-patya and enjoy !

1. This one is self evident.
2. This one warns people from parking illegally, threatening 'deflating' the offending vehicles tires.
3. This one says " I am Donkey for parking in front of the gate " !
4. This one asks people not to 'chit-chat' near the doors. It explains that this is a business place and not a "chit-chat-hall'.
5. This one tries to shoo off inquisitive onlookers. It says " Do not look inside. There is nothing interesting here".
6. This one says "Do not stamp your feet ". [ do not make noise while climbing the stairs]
7. This Cycle-repair shop proudly calls itself 'A Cycle Hospital'.
8. The overtly proud Puneri here claims in the red letters - "The owner of this building is Mr. Shridhar Madhusudhan Marathe ".
9. This last one is a gem - my favorite one among this lot. It says "Oh Lord, be generous to all of humanity -- but start with me " !
