Be it the advertising pop-ups, movie posters or the declarations of teenage love or the very generous doses of paan spittle, our street walls are bathed with all such antics. A welcome addition to these walls is a wide variety of murals, and thanks to a bunch of initiatives who took to themselves the promotion of street art in the country. India has seen a beautiful emergence of wall art lately. The withered street walls of the country are now transformed into a beautiful canvas of art, wise words and splashes of colour. The burgeoning alleys look like a splurge of art and colour rising in the midst of an everyday ruckus, that can make an onlooker's day. Street art in India is taking its baby steps and from what we can see, it is one interesting way to make walls speak. Although, the art of graffiti on walls and buildings, is generally labelled as an act of vandalism by many, we can't stop and admire the thought and expressions that go behind the work.
