And this person was saying it through art. He was painting his message and supporting Anna Hazare’s Fast at Jantar Mantar for Janlokpal Bill.

When he told me that he works at the canteen below, I apologized saying we have captured his resting spot. He replied, “ye tou kuch bhi nahin hai kal aur parson pair rakhne ke jagah nahin the!” (it is nothing today, there was no space at all yesterday and the day before).

When I was leaving I asked the India Live TV group when would they go? They said they were going to stay till the end. I asked so they would have food here itself? Tehy replied usually on such days they too end up fasting!

    Anna united India like no present-day politician can, it seems. 🙂

    Great coverage! Your camera’s optical zoom came in handy, I suppose.

    Meanwhile, IBN7 certainly has some pretty anchors! Perhaps I should start watching the channel. 😛

    Sidhu I agree it was quite surprising to see the different banners that came to Jantar Mantar. And good luck for watching IBN7.

    Chitra but he only tried, he woke up in two minutes.

    Abhilash, they gave the poster on the rooftop as well, as a guy standing there wanted to get a picture clicked while holding that poster!

    Ramesh my best wishes for the relocation. It must be a relief to get your family with you.
