The beauty of Lafz (words) in Indian languages is such, that a single term is enough to invoke in the mind a moving human emotion along with an ambiance that wraps one poetically. "Muntazir"- she who awaits, used as the title of this oil on canvas painting conjures the vision of an aching but patient heart, awaiting the arrival of the beloved.
The subject, a young woman in a crisp cotton saree that fits her form gorgeously, stands leaning against a well, probably in a courtyard. The well, once filled with sweet water, is now in a dilapidated state, much like the heart of the heroine, who seems to be slightly irked by the long waiting.
A homely backdrop gives the scene a touch of quaintness which amplifies the silence that the woman carries in her mood. As she plays mindlessly with the bucket placed on the well, the onlooker empathizes with the state of her heart, such is the allure of this realsitc portrayal of what it is like to be, Muntazir.
