Open Shop.
Just two word signage.
On a roadside.
The clue was 'ulta pulta' with the next picture showing 'Shop Open'. It depicted that the signage meant the same that the shop is open. But the challenge was 'which shop' and where?
Once again 17th episode of KBG Kaun Banega Ghumakkad saw large participation. However, unlike the previous contests, the correct answers did not come within minutes. It took many readers as much as two days!
What is the correct answer?
'Open Shop' or 'Shop Open' signage was shot by Ghumakkad on NH-40 in Meghalaya. Like all national highways in India where sale of liquor is banned, the wine shops in Meghalaya also had to down their shutters. But they overcame the ban by putting up signages 'Open Shop' next to the closed metal shutters. After I noticed multiple such signages, the cab driver revealed the code. These sign boards indicated that wine shop is open but from the rear! Smart way to overcome a ban on open sale of liquor on highways in India!
Congratulations to the winners.

Postscript two days later: "We saw many highway shops with both Open Shop and Shop Open signages as described by you", wrote Meenu B who was travelling in Meghalaya with her family. What better delight for Ghumakkad can be!
