Mumbai is once again festooned with posters of all kinds because the festive season is upon us. Ganpati is on, soon we will have Bakra Eid, then there is Navratri and Diwali, which will be followed by New Year. It is celebration time for the city.

Mumbai’s walls are plastered with different hoardings, posters and banners, featuring the familiar mug shots of politicians across all parties, wishing people a happy this or a happy that. We can expect this to continue till the end of the year. The city has hordes of posters on mandals and pandals and on walls too, from politicians who are either being welcomed or congratulated, or giving some
congratulatory message to the public in turn.
