Mother & child
A painted love
“Hey dude, I am coming today evening.” One of my best friends told me over the phone. These few words are very much enough to say, cancel all your plans for the eve or I’ll kick your ass man. This is the way we have been actually communicating since our college days. It’s normal and formal too for us. Ha ha ha.
“Let’s watch a movie”. I said to myself and popped out my mobile from my right pocket of my jeans. I watched half of it then I got bored. Wow you would have been thinking what a man, got bored of the movie 300. Yes indeed. As I said about ‘the interest’ and ‘the state of mind’ in my previous article, today also I was not interested in watching the movie. Few hours later in the evening he came and we went for a movie (again!!) and then had diner with the coke & whisky. After drinking much we came at my room. He picked up the sketch book and said, “Wow, you mad all these sketches?” asked in amusement. “Yes, indeed.” I said kept my head held high. (You know after drinking much what happens. Hehehe).
Flipping the pages, watching my work he stopped on a sketch. “Hey, nice work dude. But why did u made the mother nude?” He asked me like a naïve in art. Then I explained to him for 15 min.
“I made nude because I want to show an actual mother’s love. If I have made her in clothes then I have few choices. It means, I would have to make more sketches to explain it.
“More sketches. How?” He asked me.
“See, if I give her jeans and top, then the message will be on modern day’s mother. On the other hand it would be like; the mother who has money can give love to her child. But money can’t buy the love. If I would have made her like poor woman then the message will favour the poor mothers. Still the message is not including the mothers in the whole world which was my motto for this sketch. So I made her nude.”
He was listening all what I was saying to him like a guru giving the “GYAAN” to his student. He he he . I think you would have got me why I wrote the word in capital if you would have been meeting the people who speaks every where, whatever may be the condition, (NETA, in short, ha ha ha).
“Mind blowing yar.” He said as if he got every word of my speech. (We are engineers. So, I think it’s well enough to say. Ha ha ha.)
“Ok. I got you. But tell me (here the engineer goes on his way.) You put the child in front of her vagina. You could have put the child opposite to her breasts. And you didn’t cover her breasts, but the vagina, why?” Good question indeed. (It was the famous cause and effect kind of situation. He asked this question because of the whisky, and the effect we all know. He he he).
“My dear friend, (Whisky engineer guru started again) if I put the child opposite to her breasts, then the vagina would be open. The mother will not be mother at all. It will be like the prostitute, even if I cover it with clothes or any other thing. Why would I have made breasts open, because these are the symbol of feminine, symbol of the mother, the milk feeding organs. That’s why I didn’t cover them.”
“I got you bro. You made this after a long and hard fucking thinking man.” He said. “Ok dude, it’s the time to move my ass. See you soon” he said. We shook hands said good bye. This is the story over only one sketch that I have made. I want to share this with you. THE MOTHER AND CHILD. A PAINTED LOVE…
