- Tejomaya -

'Tejo" meaning light and 'Maya" the universe is the embodiment of light, shine and splendor.

Light that gives hope. Hope that drives out darkness and fills our hearts with peace.

This is a tribute to such a soul who  just like the shining light spread love and happiness to those around. 

Anshu, this is for you...

Months back, you asked me to make an art work. You considered us artists. Be it in form of drawings or writing. You believed that we make this world a bit better everyday. You said that the world is full of grief and problems and probably the artist in us contributes in giving relief to those who experience our work. 

So came up the idea of Art With A Purpose... 

Remember you made me promise to post the drawing I make in one of my story as well. Here I am today, fulfilling my promise. This is for you. For the warrior in you!

वो शक्ति है
हर संकट में 
जो साथ दे 
वो भक्ति है

सारे दुख तुम्हारे
वो हर लेगी
मां की तरह 
सदा दुलार करेगी

लाल चुनरी ओढ़े
वो न दिखेगी
सफ़ेद कोट और मास्क 
लगाए वो रक्षा करेगी

अपनी सुंदर कलम से
वो दिल में बस जाती है 
प्यार गुस्सा दुख़ और खुशी
वो हर जज़्बात दिखती है

खुली आंखों से जो ढूंढोगे
तो शायद वो न मिलेगी
आंखें बंद कर जो महसूस करोगे
वों तुम्हारे साथ मुस्कुराएगी

वो शक्ति है 
हर संकट में 
जो साथ दे
वो भक्ति है

"Ek toh tumhare comparisons, on point hote hai", remember saying this to me? I hope even today my comparison is on point.

And like always, whenever I make something for you I would ask you to show it to jiju aur aaj bhi yahi bolungi. Jiju ko dikhana ok...

I miss you Anshu... I miss our chats... I miss teasing you... I miss hearing "I choose my right to ignore the statement". Somewhere I just want you to come and say "Bazinga!" But unfortunately it can't happen. 

Someone said to me, "Arey stories will come and go, part of life." 

True stories come and go. But the impact stays forever and yours was not just any story, it was a fairytale. 

Each and every moment we had is memorable and will always be memorable. Even though we were miles apart, I never felt distance between our hearts. I am sure, wherever you are you will be reading this and I just want to say the one thing I always believed...

YOU ARE THE BEST!
