by Ranjha. From the Nala Damayanti series
Kangra School. Late 18th century AD
"But how can I enter Damayanti's palace without being noticed?" Nala asks Lord Indra.
"We will give you the power to make yourself invisible" Lord Indra says.
Having gained that power, Nala secretly enters the inner apartments. There is commotion in the foreground as a shadow falls on the ground, but there is no one there. A frightened girl runs; the door keeper feels uncomfortable as a shadow has just crossed the threshold. Others, unaware of the commotion, go about their morning routine works. While someone is still asleep, other women come out while arranging their hair; one is taking her bath, others are looking for their jewellery.
Ranjha has caught the daily activities in minute details.
Thoughts secretly enter our minds, catching us unaware. Till they reveal themselves. But they come, they see, and they conquer.
