this is something i made... the first one speaks for itself while the other distorts in perspective. 
                  ~my own gulmohar~

For one human being to love another
that is the most difficult of all our tasks,
the ultimate, the last test of 
proof, the work for which all 
other work is but preparation.

- rainer maria rilke

we had a workshop and had to portray the meaning of this in an abstract way playing with colours and textures. my group consisted of jiten, jeremy and me.
EMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

- Christina Rossetti
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls


- A thousand splendid suns
there was a red car,
with three men in it... 


the one wearing 
the white polo-neck sweater,
the yellow sun-hat and 
the black seat-belt...

was driving it!!
