Graffitti at IIT Bombay

IIT  Bombay Marathon which was held on 26th November 2017, the only time outsider get to enter the IIT bombay campus without any reference however marathon needs to be Pre-registered online.

During our marathon i enjoyed the view of the campus, it was lush green and even the hills which is connected to SGNP can be spotted at some point however it was impossible for me to snap the pics at that time.
I mean it is one of the dream campus for the college student like me - there is a Flora,Fauna, Sameer hills for a short trek, court and ground well maintained for every sports - you name it, powai pond nearby and vihar lake however it is unauthorized but can be reached through risky route.

There are many good night time stories that Mumbai IITians  share online, one of them is of leopard sighting, some of them lucky one have sighted leopard during night time specially students who get the urge of smoking cigarette and drinking coffee around 1am - 2am while taking a walk in the campus.


After finishing the marathon, we went directly to the small stadium, vibe around the campus was so energetic that we started dancing along with other marathon runners copying the steps instructed by instructor on the stage.After that we eat Upma provided by them, during that time i saw some girls training on the ground, i mean they were damn athletic which left my jaw drop.

Best thing about the campus was graffiti which is illegal in most part of the world but out here it is different, these people appreciate every single work of art no matter what. The reason graffiti was started back in the days was to deliver message, specially it was done during night time as it was considered outlaw and the artist who did it remained underground.


The most Highlighted part about the above graffiti is heisenberg fictional character featured in Breaking bad serial, the chemistry teacher who along with his student cook Meth and get involved in selling Meth, firstly it is B2C then B2B.


The most highlighted part about the above graffiti was Doraemon smoking cigarette and looking sick which i think was a metaphor message and Pikachu with black shades on reflecting Thug life persona.



I loved the font style of above graffiti, the one they mostly draw on skateboard.


Above graffiti shows baboons and white tiger in a artistic way.



Click on the above image to read what's written - How was your viva? , I hate canteen food, Cruel world with No Job, 5KT's Bro.This are the stuffs students discuss among's them, which is reflected through graffiti.'these kind of graffiti take all your stress away when you look at them. it brings a smile on your face even though i do understand its wrong. Shout out to IIT bombay for allowing students to express their thought.

 After this we got out of the campus and hopped back to powai lake region to chill, out here we encountered some streets kids playing games.





They needed some money to eat so we gave them little money to eat, the small kid had a smile on his face constantly.After all this we went back to Our home.It was a tiring day but worth it.
