Is that a trash can?

It was good to see the trash cans at Delhi's scenic and beloved Lodhi Gardens getting dressed up. Post the make-over, these trash cans are getting a huge response from delighted visitors.

Cans turned into canvases

In fact, trash cans were earlier hardly noticed, and sadly not used much at all. The new trash cans are practically begging to be noticed and used.

Such initiatives may slowly just make the Delhi citizen more aware and appreciative of its public spaces. That would be a huge contribution by the dedicated band of artists led by creative entrepreneur Yogesh Saini. The group has set its sights on many more dustbins, and then painting and transforming the larger spaces in the city. There are walls, subways, school and college compounds, playgrounds and hospitals....so many places waiting to be dressed up...
