On 15Aug (our Independence Day) and 16Aug, The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) started a campaign of beautifying the wall that separates the railway tracks from the road that runs alongside for a distance of almost 3kms between Mahim and Dadar. It was initiated with 'The Wall Project' (to add visual elements of colour, form and texture to a space) - a group of enthusiastic people. The paint,brushes and all other material required for this graffiti bonanza was supplied by the BMC authorities and a free hand was given to one and all who wished to write on the wall. The only caveat was there should not be any religious,political or messages of hatred. It turned out to be a 'beautiful' way to celebrate our Independence Day!
