The Indian government's decision of barring all promotional SMS and calls recently gave a breather and i did see a substantial drop in the number of calls and SMS as i registered for 'FULLY Blocked' category.

But, people in India do not STOP here. They have all the Jugaad's (tricks) to bypass government laws. [More]

This may sound strange, funny and interesting too. Indian minds are forever thinking and never fail to come up with something new and creative. Here we present a unique strategy adopted by this small time restaurant to race to fame somewhere in Karnataka. It looks like a dhaba on a highway and they have kept the hotel name as 'Google'. Well, looks like they either don't know what Google is or they actually know that it is the world's most known and respected brand and hence have tried to catch the eyes!!
