Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the last minute notice but this all happened in a sudden Giffy i have no go.
The idea is to do the following...
1. To make people feel the need for safer roads.
2. To create awareness on the state of affairs the infrastructure of the city is on.
So what we do is this. We go on the streets and carry a spray paint canister and a camera. Draw a red circle around any trouble we could find on the road. Potholes, illegal speed breakers, pits, dug up and left open trenches. Take a picture of this and finally organize a photo exhibition with these images.
As easy as it may sound, this is not easy to do. There are several legal pitfalls. Despite the fact no one gives a rats ass we are liable to get booked under nuisance case. This is not a big problem but then we are directly pricking with the ruling governments efficiency and they may try and portray us as morons of some sort.
Nevertheless, we want to do something along those lines. We want to discuss. So we are organizing a meeting tomorrow at 6 pm in "The Madras Terrace House"
Address below:-
The Madras Terrace House: #15, Sri Puram, 2nd Street, Royapettah, Chennai - 600014, Tamil Nadu, India.
Please call me at 98840-70054 for further clarifications.
Regards,
Dilip.
