Elevator of Doom


Sorry for back tracking, but I'm going through my roll of pictures and found some more to share:

This is a sign for a elevator which goes from the bottom of the mountain to the top in Shimla. Its a very long elevator with a small carriage--it could fit maybe 3 people by American standards but darned if we didn't fit 6 people plus a elevator door man in there.

First, look at the last bullet point on the sign: "All Efforts will be made to take out stranded passengers due to a electrical failure of technical fault, which may take a minimum of 20 to 25 minutes." At least they let you know that help will come eventually, not necessarily a given here in India.

Second, I just find the Times of India Slogan at the top to be very funny. The slogan might as well be "Times of India: for People who Deserve Love"
