I enjoy finding unusual spellings and translations when on the road, but don't always know how to work them into a post. For example, when checking into the Harsha Mahal in Hassan, I received a deposit receipt with the following notes:

1. The right of admission is reserved.
2. Room Rent will be applicable for every 24 hours or part there of.
3. Lodgers should inform the management if more persons want to occupy the room than the mentioned in the register and obtain the permission and they will be charged extra.
4. The managent is not responsible for any loss of the goods or valuables in the room.
5. In case of loose of key the cost of lock will be charged.
6. Please do not entrust cash to the room-boy or cleaner, in case if you are paid, the Management is not responsible for the same.
7. The management is at liberty to open the door if the lodgers absent themselves without intimation and the management is not responsible for their luggages.
8. If the lodgers cause any damage beloging to the hotel the same will be charged to their account.
9. Room should not be used for illegal activities.
10. Hot water will be supplied to the lodgers only between 6a.m. to 9a.m.
11. Food service will be to the lodgers between 6-30a.m. to 10-00p.m.

Or, this sign:

When I find a way to work them into a post, I'll let you know.
