Handpainted signs of the keymakers

Lost your house key? Help is at hand in the form of the many keymakers you can see on Mumbai's pavements.The keymakers advertise themselves with different handpainted signs - some are just a scrawl on the wall, some DTP prints. This pair of oversized bright yellow and red keys advertise keymaker Javed Khan's business.

The young reporters of Jalebi Ink spoke to Javed Khan, the keymaker, while working on the My Mohalla (My Neighbourhood) Project. Jalebi Ink is a Mumbai-based media company that produces stories, features, news, video etc for and by young people. Through the My Mohalla Project, the reporters explore the people and places that make their neighbourhoods.
