In some quarters of society,
needs be so wanting that luck
of some means of transmission,
results in birth of sub cultures.
Sending alerts via writings
on social amenity walls,
public bathroom walls,
stores and market walls,
electric and telephone poles
and elsewhere is the norm.
That’s where sportsmen learn about
the next football, hockey matches;
whole communities read about
the next village cinemas, meetings;
and dancers get to know about
the next dances at social halls,
plus more.
All sorts of materials are used
to convey messages like
white and colored chalk,
charcoal and clay,
vegetable dies
and more.
Promotions get loud and clear.
Effect on people is so strong that
it’s the first thing some check on
on wake up time, before all else.
It’s a way of sending out fliers.
in order to plan days or weeks.
It may look like graffiti to a stranger,
but therein lies the news, information et al.
