City-based Spiderman, Gaurav Sharma, like all election contestants, may spend these post-election days soaking his feet in a tub of hot water, applying ice packs and rejuvenating tired limbs. South Mumbai’s independent candidate has earned the Spiderman moniker because he climbs up city buildings using his hands like Spidey in symbolic gestures, either as a tribute to an event or persons, or to inculcate a love for climbing and adventure among the youth. He contested as an independent and campaigned by clambering up structures and knocking on the windows of the electorate. “I did not climb high. But, yes, people were startled at times, to see me, at other times, they were amused. I contested seriously though.” In the Geeta Nagar slums at Colaba, Gaurav said that he felt the anger of people who wanted to beat up politicians for false promises.
