Do you remember the scribblings on walls that you used to read, while you were in the loo, back in primary grade? The pure crap written about you and your neighbouring girl? The drawings depicting sexual organs of the body? I still remember, till the end of my high school, I used to stare at the "creative artwork" on walls, specially at the toilets. Maybe I shouldn't describe it as "creative artwork", for they are better to be referred to as "graffiti"!
Today, spoiling the walls of Male' with graffiti are becoming - or have already become - very common among the youth. Its not only in Male' that we find this crap, but also in the islands.. Although this present widespread habit had existed since long back, these days our "clean" walls have become a means for a bunch of "ill-mannered" dudes walking around expressing their political view and thoughts!
I shot the above pictures when I was in Male' for holidays recently.. Calling abusive names at others, giving out others' contact numbers and more! So much of graffiti, eh?
