The intriguing Graffiti in MCRC Jamia

While roaming inside the MCRC campus I happened upon a secluded place opposite the canteen. There I saw a wall on which a spooky graffiti was being done. It intrigued me a lot and as I went closer to get a look at it, it read ” I am a Rider”. Banksy striked my mind, the famous UK graffiti artist who is predominantly known to have a contempt for the governing system there.

In the middle of it I saw a place where some taps suggested that it was marked for ablutions (Wazu) for those who have to offer prayer Namaaz. To my surprise there were the mats (ja Namaaz) spread out at a clean plane under tree shade.
Since I too offer the five times prayer a day, it surrounded me with a religious feeling that was exuded with affluence of spirituality that one attains by connecting to his / her god.

Though this is my first day in the college and I have almost taken a round inside the campus with some of my new colleagues during the breaks, but I would say that when I crossed this place it surrounded me with calmness. And is now close to my heart for not specifically two reasons but the solidarity and the calmness it had to offer, that it was the place of worship and is also has such a remarkable wall art which was accentuated with different spray colors on the wall.
