The Veiled Lady

A one man exhibition was organized of the paintings of
a famous artist. The gallery was buzzing with the
visitors. Appreciating and discussing the works of art,
beautiful and often disturbing. One painting in
particular attracted special notice, the viewers were
puzzled by its strange and incomprehensible features.
Yet the painting gripped their attention. The artist was
requested to unveil the meaning of this Veil lady. Her
face was concealed by her beautiful golden rich
streaming hair. Her busts were covered by a metallic
shield, fitted with sharp spikes. She wore a thick black
ugly, long skirt. She held a blood stained dagger in her
hands.
The most striking feature was that she was completely
bald on the back of her head. She was also mounted on
roller wheels to enabling her to move very fast. The
painter pointed to a word below her busts. It was
adversity. This was symbolized by the sharp spikes
shielding her busts and dagger in her hand. On the
whole, it was an ugly and somewhat sinister image.
Especially with the bald half, back of her head.
The painter wanted the weavers to look deeply on the
face, veiled by her golden tresses. They could see the
beautiful face with an inscription on her head

Only which is born and alive can die What ever dies is reborn in someway in another sky Death and Life are relative We concoct dozens of stories about afterlife But nobody has ever returned to give direct evidence There are thousand stories of re-birth None of them could stand the real test of truth They remain juicy hypotheses, happy or tense Soul and Spirit , even a child born out of your sprem is to reni...

कंटीला गुलाब यह सच है की तुम हो एक कंटीला गुलाब, रूप-रस-गंध मे ला ज़वाब। काँटों पे चल के पाया है तुम्हें, जैसे काँटों मे खिला शवाब। कैसे करुँ काबू अपनी तम्मना पर, जब की तुम खुद हो तम्मन्नाए बेताब। पता नहीं तुम ख़्वाब हो या हकीकत, सायद हो तुम हकीकत मे ढला ख़्वाब। कितनी चुभन हो तुम और कितनी रेशमी छुअन, कर नहीं पाया अभीतक इसका हिसाब। हर सवाल का जवाब भी होता है, दरअशल सही सवाल में ही छुपा होता है जवाब। गम के धुंधलके मे मुँह चिढ़ाता है आईना भी, तू क्यों चमक रहा है युं बेशरम माहताब? लाख कोशिश करता हुँ मगर, पढ़ नहीं पाता तेरे चेहरे की किताब। न साकी हैं, न मै, ना मय खाना, पिता हुँ, जो दिल मे ही खिचती हैं, वह शराब l
