I like to observe the world around me. This painting is an visual observation of my society ( not just where I live at present, but an overall view of the Indian society/ the world as a whole).
When we study the history of India, we learn of the early civilizations and how they lived.
This is a simple view of my present civilization,with a cow having more than one udder representing the clash and co-existence of the various religions in India.
The painting is named as 'The Time Capsule' for it shows the time of the present - poor with the rich or rather the middle man who is neither in the BPL(below poverty line) or in the rich category. Hence the man is in a capsule with nothing but the deep desire to understand how to cope with life.
The tree represents nature ( it is near the time capsule on the right side).
In order to show the buildings within the city I have drawn on the top right hand side the blocks as seen in the 'building blocks' game that we often see children playing in their mobile or computers.
On the top left hand side there is a bus stand filled with people with an over lapping frame work of a bus shows the daily life of normal working class society.
There is a turbaned man crouching at the bottom center of the painting with a beedi (cigarette) in hand. Next to him is a huge milk jar.
At the center of the painting, in a horizontal position lies The Time Capsule. The time capsule shows how we sleep, we meditate, we work hard to live in this civilization. Unfortunately we are caught in the time capsule.At the end there is nothing peaceful that we really gain. We are left with only a residue of unfulfilled thoughts and wishes.
NOTE:Having now explained this concept I would like to also add that every human undergoes a set of changes( physically,mentally and socially)before he completes his entire life. So, this concept of mine that I have shared here can change as I evolve.
