I take the "pothu poku varathu" (public transport) buses to move
around Chennapattinam.
And whenever I pass through Nandanam, my heart experiences a certain
coolness and my soul gets
stirred deeply by the surreal and immensely appealing artwork done by
Chennai city officials.
And guess what? It is free. I don't have to pay anything. It is really
wonderful!
The first thought that came to me when I saw that genius was this:
If India has so much talent, then what are the idiots in the Bangalore
IT industry doing?
Why should we paint a picture of slavery and poverty and lack of
infrastructure when we have so much
talent with us?
I cannot but wonder.
