Love is blind, indeed!

After getting the tallest mast for the flag at Sanjeevaiah Park, Tank Bund added another feather to its tourist attraction with a typographical beauty in the form of the ‘Love Hyd’ structure recently.

The spot, touted to be the new selfie destination for locals and tourists alike, is attracting a lot of attention. Unfortunately, not everything is loveable here.

Within 24 hours of its inauguration people were seen behaving in an unfavourable manner around it. While incidents of spitting, littering and other general forms of public misconduct were reported, perhaps the scariest of all was when people mounted the structure and indulged in high risk behaviour.

‘Love Hyd’ selfie spot brings out the worst of behaviours

Children as young as in their teens were seen standing on top of the ‘Love Hyd’ structure, arms raised, no parental supervision and posing for a photograph.

The typographic installation is represented as a symbol of the city. It is seven-feet high and designed by one of the world's famous artists Hitesh Malaviya in collaboration with Hanif Kureshi. Of course, youth and adults are happy with it.

S Shreya, a student, who visited the place, said, “I am seeing this kind of symbol for the first time and it is attractive for the selfie lovers. From this spot, the Indian flag looks more beautiful.”

Vaishnavi, who visited the place along with her family from Bengaluru, said that this new symbol is attractive and creative. “This reflects our love for the city!” she exclaimed.

Another visitor, N Chandresh, a businessman said that “Love Hyd” though a good concept has missed a key detail for selfie lovers.

“There is a small problem. When we take a selfie the image is reversed. So, the typography is also not correct in our photo,” he said.

“I request to relocate it opposite to the current place,” added Chandresh.
