Sand

At times I really get fascinated by the creativity of people. Long back, when I had a lot of time to spare, when I worked for humane hours, I once ventured in to a cultural museum. In a crowd which consisted of families and couples, it was pretty odd to walk around as a stag. I had my freedom though. I was literally delighted at the serenity of that huge landscape in spite of of being in the middle of a happening city.

My curiosity guided me to remote but inviting nooks of the museum. Now am not going to be that dramatic and say that 'the crowded woods give way to a clearing with sunshine streaming though the branches, and a stream flowing near by'..... But I was in the middle of a different environment even before I could realize. I would rather say I didn't realize that until I turned back.

They have named it as "natural rock garden". Indeed there were some rocks here and there, meticulously named. Spend some time reading the names. I felt none of the rocks deserved to be there until I came across the "Two Sisters Chatting". It consisted of two rocks one, long, lying down with a slight bend in the end ( should be her head). The other next to it shorter, thicker, as if sitting beside the other. I never saw two women sit like that and talk. I have to admit their postures were graceful. Simple. "Two Sisters Chatting" the artist should have been at a high when he named that, I bet. Felt that it would have been an easy task. The feeling evaporated when I started to think what would the sisters be chatting about. A guess was beyond my limits. And I am sure anybodies guess will be misplaced by the artist, because nothing atleast I know will suite the situation, posture or name of the rocks. Should be something celestial.....

Hats off for the artist. Need to appreciate his imagination to bring two different pieces of rock together and give it a worthy name.
