I was in Chennai last week and was very pleased to note that some stretches of the roads are getting a set of street art (ala the paintings along roads in Bangalore). I saw some work on the Dr. Radhakrishnan Salai and it looked very nice :-)
I hope this is a model that gets replicated very quickly across all other Indian towns. It is certainly a welcome change to the numerous bills pasted on the walls. I'd rather look at the painting of a "pile" in a monument than an ad for "piles" !
My other fond hope is that these paintings do not get plastered with the various political posts / movie posters etc. Who knows - this may be the precursor to getting to a NO PAAN spitoon areas also ;-)
