What do you find irritating about this picture?

Look at this image of the back of a book. Can you tell me what I found really infuriating?

sticker_on_bookI find the sticker “Prakash Books” really irritating. How are you supposed to buy a book if you can’t the read blurb at the back?

I find stores that do this aren’t really bookstores. The person who put the sticker there really doesn’t understand books at all… or doesn’t care.

You can always diet tomorrow

Cute one…don’t remember where I took this… possibly Singapore.

Temperature Sensor

On a flight from Singapore to India I asked for a Carlsberg beer can and was surprised to see a small innovation:

There is small patch of white on the can which is temperature sensitive. If the beer can is cold enough, the words “Cool” appear in silver. If the can is not cold, the words don’t appear. Thus you don’t need to second guess the temperature. Drink if “Cool”, don’t if not !
