During a discussion with this Blogger , Shri Ravinder Jamwal informed ,

“ Autar ji I hold a firm belief that every domain is subject to its limitations . These limitation apply equally to man made domains or domains of the nature . And Life keeps recycling for its flow and movement . Birth – Death – Rebirth cycle .you get my point . The people living along the border whether in India or in Pakistan have felt this cycle of tranquility and hostility perpetually .There is a persian quote of jalaal Rumi, 

“ Hamchoo Sabzaa Baarhaa Roedhaa Imm “ 
Or “ Like Greenery we keep coming again and gain”

The recycling of life is the Moral Undercurrent of my expression for both Natural as well as man made objects . My work also rests transcendence of the apparent world . It is an outcome of my state of mind , heart and yes soul. So enjoy and welcome. “
                                                                              

                                (A snow sculpture done by shri Ravinder jamwal at Natha top.)

Through  his work , Shri Ravinder Jamwal has successfully   given expression to the pain and suffering that the people of this state in general and  more specifically the border resident have been undergoing since last two and a half decades. One can safely say that the agony of Poor Border residents  happens to be even older . These Sculptures represent  tales of pain and uprootment .  An uprootment that affects Man, Animal and crops .On a little higher plane , it affects Mind ,Psyche and ultimately  human happiness and Individual liberty .  

For these poor Border residents ,the uprootment , settlement and then again Uprootment represents the cycle of recurring  dark clouds  of  suffering with brief spells of sunshine or    Normalcy.
