A Matter of Love Beyond The Fence : " Lovely Coincidence..!! "


When i was on a trip to Rapar, Kutch - Gujarat, I have visited an Army Camp. There we had overnight discussion about the " Lovely Coincidence " along with so many other incidences they have faced.

There was a young boy in a camp near Asian Berlin Wall at Jammu (LOC : Line of Control). He was tall, thin but had a great smile. Everyday, a young girl came by on the other side of the fence. She noticed the boy and asked him if he spoke polish, and he said yes. She said he would look hungry, and he said yes, he was. She then reached in her pocket and gave him her apple. He thanked her and she went on her way. 

The next day, she came by again, bringing with another apple which she gave him. Each day, she walked by outside of the fence, hoping to see him, and when she did, she happily handed him an apple in exchange of conversation.

One day, he told her not to come by anymore. He told he was being shifted to another camp. As he walked away with tears streaming down his face, He wondered if he would ever see her again. She was the only kind soul he would seen across the fence.

He made it out of the camp, and shifted to another camp in Kutch, Gujarat . Later on someday, his friend fixed him up on a blind date. he had no idea who the woman was. He picked her up, and during dinner began talking of his previous camp at Jammu twelve years ago. She said she has left the Asian Berlin Wall a decade ago. She said she used to talk to a boy and gave him apples daily. He asked if the boy was tall, skinny and if he had told her that she should not come back because he was leaving. She noodled her head and replied yes. 

It was her, the young girl who came by everyday to give him apples. After 12 years, they had met again. What are the odds ? He proposed to her on that very night and told her that he would never again let her go. They are still happily married today.


It reminds me the lyrics written by Javed Akhtar,

" Panchhi, Nadiya, Pavan Ke Jhonke . . . . 
                                Koi Sarhad Na Inhe Roke . . . "

Great Artworks of Picasso in Ahmedabad


L & P Hutheesing Visual Art Gallery, organized a Painting Exhibition at their premise in CEPT University campus. There were numbers of paintings from very renowned artists but we could understand only two paintings of Pablo Picasso.




Girl Before A Mirror was painted by Pablo Picasso in March 1932. It was produced in the style Picasso was using at the time and evoked an image of vanity such as, had been utilized in art in earlier eras, though the emphasis has been shifted and very different view of image had been emerged. The work is considered in terms of erotic in art, and critics indifferent periods have offered their different assessments of the work to show a wide range of reactions.

This painting was painted during the artist's cubism period. Picasso was an artist that was very bold with his artwork. Even with the background that are normally placed to be a backdrop and mainly they are to assist the main subject. He includes it within the painting to make it just as intense as the main focal point of the image.

Picasso was a part of movement that would become known as modernism, a name which included a number of different artistic styles and aesthetic responses. Modernism is a term applied retroactively to certain literary and artistic trends at the beginning of the twentieth century. Modernism rejected traditions that existed in the nineteenth century and sought to stretch the boundaries.



Another art work piece is Guernica, created in 1937. The influence of this young love and muse has recharged him, and he became the legend in his own lifetime. This painting has a sense of harlequinade, as strong bright bands of colors are arranged so that the dress appears like a costume. The painting may also resemble a queen court card from a deck of playing cards, whose imagery is often designed with stripes and banding creatively reserved on the same plane. These bands are superbly controlled by the black or white striations to create wonderful series of energetic patterns across the contours of body. 

This painting shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon the individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. On completion Guernica was displayed around the world in a brief tour, becoming famous and widely acclaimed. This tour helped bring the Spanish civil war to the world's attention.
