Wall chalking

muqawwee123 · May 21, 2013, 3:52pm

I wonder our officially claimed literacy rate is around 40-50% (definition of being literate is another controversial issue). With this alarming situation, when we see walls of the cities we find that our nation loves to write.

Lets share some wall chalking in this thread and your views how you see the practice.

Should there be any censorship of some explicit material written on walls?

Re: Wall chalking

I remember when I was in Bangalore (South India) I'd see things written on the wall like
"DO NOT URINE HERE" or "DO NOT DUMP TRASH HERE"

Either people don't know how to read, or they don't care, because they did the opposite of what the writing said :D

Re: Wall chalking

lols, back in 90s, in our hometown, there was no concept Pants shirt. A few people, who used to dress were made fun of their style. There was our tuition master, who when used to pass by our home, we started shouting ’ sooti soRhi, khayal wadha thai’… You got tang (tight) patloon, and got big ideas

Later, when we started wearing Pants shirt, the situation was totally changed, that tuition master encouraged us that you people look smarter, but our phuppi reminded us ’ ab bolo.. sooti soRhi khayal wadha thai’
