An ad for an Internet Service Provider. There are several ISPs and most of them route their cables using the telephone and electric poles, adding to the unseemly jumble of cables that seems to be ubiquitous in the city now. There is intense competition and once in a while the linesmen of one ISP cut off the cables of their rival and it takes hours to fix the problem! The other time we lose Internet connectivity is when they take huge Ganesh idols for immersion.

Traces of nuts indeed! All the train stations in Mumbai have signs like that with the Station name.
@weboj - In Western countries the food packages have a warning about "traces of nuts" because some people are allergic to it. Regarding the signs at the railway stations, the local stations here also have similar signs. I think the design has been "stolen" from the London Underground.http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/2625.aspx
