Are You In Touch With All Your Darkest Fantasies?

“Then I, alone, and relieved to be alone, perhaps went to a movie, or walked, or returned home and read, or sat in a park and read, or sat on a cafe terrace, or talked to people, or wrote letters… And no matter what I was doing, another me sat in my belly, absolutely cold with terror over the question of my life.”

— James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Madhubala’s melancholy:

Pencil, charcoal, oil paints on canvas.

Madhubala, a Bollywood icon, lived a life just as tragic as ‘Anarkali’, a character she played in her last film, the classic - ‘Mughal-e-azam’.

After being diagnosed with a rare heart condition, Madhubala kept fighting for her life and doing justice to her art while sadness colored her life off the screen.

A woman of resolve and uncanny character, she spent the last of her days in loneliness and died at the untimely age of 36 but left behind a timeless remembrance full of art, beauty and strength.

Madhubala when asked about love had once said,"No peace or happiness is possible in life without true love."
