Unplastered walls had layers of torn posters on it. It was a bit of Urdu, a bit of Hindi and English.

The next morning fresh posters of Real Cause NGO were put up in red.

On the other side of the road, at the Batla House Chowk, three women were drinking fruit juice. FRUIT JUICE the signboard read. It had faces of Amitabh Bachhan and Kareena kapoor painted . They had glasses in their hands and were smiling at all who were looking at them.

Another signboard in blue read :

Batla House Chowk à 

Muradi Road à 

Khalilullah Masjid à
