Prague, Czech Republic: As a child I had learned the nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill, where the two went up a hill and Jill tumbled down. When I saw the sculpture of blue woman in Kampa museum of Prague, my first thought was of Jill tumbling down a hill. What do you think this woman is doing? Swimming? Falling down? Looking under a bed?

प्राहा, चेक गणतंत्रः बचपन में नर्सरी स्कूल में एक कविता सीखी थी "जेक और जिल" वाली, जिसमें दोनो पहाड़ी पर जाते थे और जिल फिसल कर पहाड़ी से लुड़कती हुई नीचे गिरती थी. प्राहा के कम्पा आधुनिक कला संग्रहालय के बाहर नीली औरत की मूर्ति देख कर मुझे लगा कि यह वही जिल है जो पहाड़ी से लुड़क रही है. आप के विचार में इस मूर्ति की औरत क्या कर रही है? तैर रही है? फिसल रही है? बिस्तर के नीचे झाँक रही है?

Praga, Repubblica Ceca: Da bambino avevo imparato una filastrocca che parlava di due bambini che salvano su una collina e poi la bambina scivolava e cadeva giù. Quando ho visto la scultura di donna azzurra al museo Kampa di Praga, il mio primo pensiero era della bambina della filastrocca. Cosa pensate che fa la donna della scultura? Nuota? Sta scivolando? Vuole guardare sotto il letto?

  1. तस्वीर देखते ही पहला विचार आया कि बारिश हो रही है और यह महिला बुँदे पकड़ने की कोशिश कर रही है.

  3. ऐसा कितना कम होता है, लेकिन आज संजय की बात कितनी जमी ! क्या पता ऊपर मेघ की जगह उसकी पतंग हो ?

  4. पतंग से अधिक मुझे लगता है कि मुर्गी के पीछे भाग रही है :)

  6. this woman is not rolling down as her demeanor is not ruffled. she is not begging from a higher authority as her tensile neck and moon-bend of her body suggests.
    she is struggling against the gravitational pull working on her - on earth, in water and in the air.that is why if you put her vertically - she would seem like walking-chin-up.and horizontally she seems to be swimming.
    therefore she is walking and swimming at the same time.here i use the words earth,water & air as metaphors of circumstantial contexts in the life's journey of this woman.she sometimes walks sometimes swims & sometimes glides(swimming in the air)metaphorically.
    a classic!

    Lata, thanks for an objective analysis - I like the idea of swimming in the air :)

  9. i think all she is doing is trying to confuse people about what she is doing...she is just lying down and enjoying all the confusion...

  10. मुझे तो लगता है कि वह जीवन में किसी तरह अपना संतुलन बनाए रखने में लगी हुई है.

  13. घुघनी बसूटी और संतोष जी, मुझे इसके चेहरे में चिन्ता या परेशानी नहीं, बल्कि निर्विकारता दिखती है. :)
