Until a few years back, there were just three categorizes of posters/banners that were put up on the roads -
🔸Political banners and posters - political party symbols or pictures of party leaders
🔸Film banners - posters of films, film actors
🔸Advertisements - advertisements of business firms, advertisements for upcoming events like circus, fairs, shows.
These days, people have started to congratulate or to wish someone they know in public spaces.
Yesterday, while I was driving to the office, I noticed a banner put up on one of the roads that I usually take. It was a banner for an upcoming wedding. It had a photo of the bride groom and the bride with wishes from a group of friends. It was put up on the road (probably near to the area where one of them lived).
This kind of public display of important personal family events has been on the rise in the last few years. I have seen banners and posters put up by people to commemorate birthdays, weddings, child birth, death anniversaries.
It is quite ridiculous. Why would someone want to share something that is personal in public spaces. Do people really feel happy and on top of the world when they see their own picture on public display?? Jeez!! That is so awkward!
My guess is that someone started this trend and then everyone followed because they thought this was cool, they did not want to lose their prestige and wanted to show that they had the money to do it. And that is how the cycle goes on and on.
