Is it his passion for the horses which motivates him to keep on running ? Or is he still finding the mirage getting away from his reach as he completes more distance ? After covering a distance of 94, he is still running like a derby horse. Don't you agree with me ?
Won't you call him a marathon runner, who started his race from India, went to Dubai, leaving it behind for Italy while proceeding further to Washington enroute New York and God knows what is his finishing point ?
Yes, I am talking about the endurance of 'Picasso of India' in the field of painting marathon, where his brush does not want to take a little rest even at the age of 94.
I have heard that everyone bows to the rising sun but he is a sun who commands more respect while setting. Let me inform you that Sheikh of Abu Dhabi is such a big fan of this gentleman that he has decided of opening a museum there on his works.
You know what he is doing at present ? He is busy on the canvas in painting a series on Indian mythology for the richest Indian Lakshmi Niwas Mittal and his brother. Still in this age he has got the capacity of juggling multiple tasks at the same time and one can also find his brush painting series for the Sheikh of Qatar and Sheikh of Abu Dhabi.
Though he may have attracted disrespect in the heart of Indians because of some of his objectionable paintings but we should not forget that he is still India's tour de force of art. Some of the fundamentalists in India have even priced his head for 50 lakh rupees and his hand for 11 lakhs. How ridiculous it is ? I mean, how can you fix the price of such a great genius, that too in lakhs, whose single series of paintings even fetch him more than 100 crore rupees ?
But take one thing for granted. You may like him or hate him, but you cannot ignore him.
Am I wrong ?
