Bean Bag 32668802

For some reason through out the city of Mumbai people have tagged walls, fences, and buildings with "Bean Bag" and a phone number.

I found this to be really perplexing. I know what a bean bag is, everyone knows what a bean bag is-- giant bag filled with beans that is not really as comfortable to sit on as you would think. But why would Bean Bag be tagged all over the city?

I asked my new driver, Jhaved, what 'Bean Bag' meant. He said bean bags are "The flowers that float on Lake Powai, people collect them and can sell by calling the Bean Bag number." I thought this was a little odd, but I didn't question him about this.

Today at work I instant messaged one of my co-workers, to confirm what Jhaved had said.

Me... hey
do you have a sec?
Co-worker... hi
sure
Me... i have a kind of random question
Co-worker... go ahead
Me... have you seen that there is this graffiti around the city that says bean bag and has a phone number
what does that mean?
Co-worker...
it means that if you'd like to buy a bean bag, u could call that number
u see, bean bags are quite expensive
and these guys supposedly sell it for cheap
Me... A giant bag filled with beans to sit on, right?
Co-worker... right
Me... ok. mystery solved. thanks

Turns out, sometimes things are exactly what you think they are.
