How many of us have observed the makeover Bangalore is having?
I'm sure we've all noticed it...
Wondering what I'm talking about?
Well.. Its not the metro project or the roads that have been tarnished because of it.
Its not the various deviations we have to take while traveling.
Its not the development in 'Once extension areas' which are now a part of Bangalore
And its neither about the new international airport BIAL!!
Its about some very simple yet prominent things...
The paintings made on the walls on the sides of the roads. I've observed them at Sheshadripuram, towards Lalbagh West Gate and towards KR circle...
These are some impeccable pieces of art made by not so famous artists. They depict everything about our city and state from farmers to fishermen, parrots, peacock, tigers, horses, elephants, languors, from temples to palaces, from gardens to lakes and some beautiful monuments which are a part of our heritage.
There are captions above and below the sceneries reminding us what the core of our being is...
They are not just some paintings, they depict our true self and where we come from. No wonder they are made by unknown people but their work is commendable. I thoroughly appreciate the fact that someone has had the brains to think of something like this, find people who do it and actually get it done. I'm sure a lot of people not only got employed but also had an opportunity to showcase their talent. Its not on a TV show or at a national level. But painting walls of the city portraying our base and culture is not a small thing either.
Have a look at them when you pass by such walls, I'm sure you will forget your worries, work and tensions and just want to enjoy the look of them. They take you to another world and beautify the City in a very innovative and amazing way!!
Have a Look at the New Look and you'll Love the Look!!
Cheers!!
God Bless!!
