confuse mind

so after a long time here I’m again. this feels different. last time it felt a bit ‘attached’, this time I’m not sure.

i go to all these wonderful places but I feel like I have left some part of me behind.

something is not with me. someone.

i feel the need to move forward but I lack motivation.

5:30 PM, Sunday evening of 19th July.. Avdhut and I were running towards the Old Royal Navy College... roads were packed with tourists clicking photos and having fun, but most of them were leaving as it was nearing closing time Avdhut and I were at the entrance of the gate and saw it opened (relieved), went inside but we still didn’t know where the painted-hall was. It was getting late and in panic you usually do wrong things and we didnt want to spend any time doing anything that would just waste our precious time. Yup we saw the map and we figured out where we had to go. We were running but it was more like Avdhut dragging me there.. hehe

And we finally reached there, time : 5:40. We made it. 

As we entered the hall and we were awestruck. Words could not express the state of my mind at the view of this amazing paintings. Yes now I know what is the meaning of Amazing. Yes we were truly amazed, awestruck. 

They call it ‘Sistine Chapel Of UK’, well I haven’t seen that either but i am well aware of the aura of that name. And to be called as counterpart of the same you have to have the masterpiece and the Painted Hall truly is.

It took 19 years for Sir James Thornhill to paint this art masterpiece which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.

Well.... but i am trying to put in words the experience I had with one of my best friends. And its not easy task. First of all I do not have enough vocabulary power to express my feelings. And Second and the most important is that I do not know if any of my words can justify the enormity of work, complexity of the design, fineness of the artwork and magnificence of the painting.

The ceiling. I googled and found out that, staggering 5,683 square feet the Painted Hall ceiling is the largest figurative painting in the country. I am not much aware of the deities and devils in the English Mythology but i could see from the painting that deities and angels were bestowing upon the king all the blessings, peace. It reminded both of us of the temples we have back in India, and how the Kings Gods in the temples rise above others to help the poor and give justice to people, through blessings bestowed upon them by deities and angels.

I come here…. Its surprisingly peaceful place in the night to be.. Its crowded but there is no chaos… I go there and think about her…its never intentional but her thoughts just pops up… Here they do not disturb me or make me restless.. They just be with me.
