Peep Peep Don't Sleep
If you thought Road Signs are only meant to guide and inform, think again.
The ones on Indian highways are in a zone of their own. They shower you with words of wisdom, keep your mind sharp as you unravel their cryptic messages, tickle your imagination, amuse you and entertain you. In public interest, they lend a hand to Alcoholics Anonymous. Since journeys are meant to be a pleasure, they remind you to Smile Please.
The entertainment for the traveler does not stop at this. There are the limitless public notices, outdoor advertisements and storefront signs with their own idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. Who needs comic strips in this country?
Ajay Jain drove over 10,000 kilometers in India to put together this collection of signs. With a bit of witty commentary thrown in, this book will be a journey unlike any other you may have undertaken. Resulting in you letting out a Peep Peep of delight.

Peep Peep Don't Sleep by Ajay Jain is a breezy, chuckle filled pit stop for travel enthusiasts. It is a collection of India’s funniest highway signs, especially the BRO gems that dot the Himalayan roads, and frames them with light, observational wit.
The founder of Kunzum Books, the name inspired by the Kunzum Pass, has driven over 20,000 kilometers, capturing the essence of the majestic mountains and instilling it into the book.
The book can serve as a quick, pass‑time read that rewards wanderlust without demanding too much. One can pick it up for the smiles and Himalayan nostalgia, not profundity, and expect a delightful ride.

This silly little book contains a collection of 'humorous' road signs in India (mostly in Himachal Pradesh). While some are funny, most are just dumb/strange. We've actually seen much funnier signs here.

Given the cool crazy sign books in the world, I had high expectations for this one. Oh, well. I recognized one place from our trip to Himachal Pradesh.
