In India truck owners get something - a sentence or a couplet - written on the rear side of their trucks.These. sentences and couplets are very interesting and,sometimes, funny.
Recently I saw a truck that had a couplet written on its rear side.The couplet was in Hindi. Here I am trying to translate its meaning in English - "Life is a sentence .In this sentence youth is dash , old age is coma and death is full stop. "

@amitkokiladitya And this couplet is composed by an illiterate truck driver who doesn't even know how to read and write.
