The ‘Chidimar Jodi’ sculpture, which was inaugurated as part of the ‘Walkers Paradise’ initiative on Walker Street, had triggered a meme fest online, with Nagpurians fuming over NMC’s move and labeling it as an attempt to degrade youth. The sculpted figurines, which provide a peek into the behavioral patterns and lifestyle of commoners, include ‘Mobile Wale,’ ‘The Pet Lover,’ ‘Glamour Girl,’ ‘Still Young,’ and ‘The Morning Person.’ However, the sculpture of ‘Chidimar Jodi’ has caught the attention of social media.

They say that being funny is a tough nut to crack. While some have mastered the art, others have failed spectacularly at cracking people up. Unfortunately for the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), their attempt at humor has left the masses groaning instead of laughing.

Several memes and opinions have gone viral against NMC’s ‘Chidimar Jodi’ sculpture in Nagpur. It seems that NMC has missed the mark on this one, leaving the people of Nagpur wondering if they should have left the humor to the professionals.
