Film, Art & Design – Bharat Sarwaiya

This is a selection of written works dating from early 1997-2010. Most of the works were in conjunction with paintings/ drawings. A set of poems was also in a handmade journal, which was illustrated accordingly but it got lost during the years.

14 Dec 97 | Delighted

God dared to mask everyone.
He now faces the consequences.

20 Dec 97 | Handbag

Glowing blue flower in his palms, unfolding blue broken ribs.
Dark filaments dangling by its ambient color.
He said:
     ” This is beautiful… but my blisters are opening.
I can not hold it any longer…. It hurts.”
   And handed him the blue thing. He then rubbed his palms together…
white powdered smile eroding from his skin.
Dark skyline was cornering the black rain clouds…
spotting out places to rain. He stepped a bit closer to him and said:
      ” Well?”
               He then paused for a while and looked down at his buckled shoes.
He grabbed his tiny white hands inside his huge rough clutching palms,
looked around for a moment and whispered:
      ” Bags for hands shouldn’t be invented… right?”
    Boy’s eyes were filled with raindrops. Salesman walked away
with his usual heavy carry bag full of odd ‘blue’ things.
People opened out their windows to the spraying heavy rain.
But nothing was happening.
             Sun was uncovering its face.

26 Nov 97 | God’s shoes

Iron tree rotating furiously, looking like an ‘unfocussed’ stirring noise,
just so as waiting for him to walk.
