The path round the pond, 11:00

 
 

This man appears on posters all over the area. Other people also appear in this way: Shashi Tharoor, for example. Posters, once stuck up, tend to stay there until all the colours have faded and the rain and the wind have shredded them.

Who is this man, though, fading on posters all around the district? I have asked and nobody has offered an answer. Politician? God man? Cultural icon?

People also put up posters of the newly deceased, but those posters usually use enlarged official photos of some kid, and look stiff and artificial, and completely unlike the person as they looked in life.

This photo looks too lively for that. I will keep asking and maybe I will find out before they all finally fade away.
