A young man engaged with a toy-couple of spinning tops in motion, and the thread remains in his hand; the artist is directing the viewer toward the continuous yet impermanent nature of time and life. A spiral design element that is very typical of Gujral's visual idiom and frequently presents the pictorial space with rhythm while also guiding the viewer's eyes throughout the composition. This sharp and massive drawing evokes a sense of nostalgia and has meanings manifold. What is worth noticing is Gujral’s choice of support-the rice paper has an inherent quality of being fragile.
