These images are from the sharp eyed Meena Kadri's flickr photostream. I love that her images aren't too post-processed & they capture the multi-hued wonder that is India so very well.
We Indians like everything just a little too spicy,sour,sweet. We are not people of subtlety & this is very obvious from our ubiquitous Street Art. Theres so much of colour going on on our walls that we don't even notice most of the time. However, this is something that is rapidly changing in our cities and the technicoloured, dated & often humorous paintings & posters advertising sometimes obsolete establishments are quickly disappearing .In the future there will be more Street Art on MASALA CHAI , to explore this tradition of kitsch for posterity.
