Dear son Marish,

How are you ? I am also all right. I have painted six new acrylic paintings. Rumannas’ exhibition opened at Triveni, yesterday. Kanchan is also showing her graphics. Vivan met me there and was remembering you. Today he is going to Kasauli. There will be a sculpture camp and poetry recital also. For ten days artists will make their sculptures. Do you remember, you and I had also gone there in 78 - it was paintings’ camp - Latika, Ranbir, Gopi, Meera Mukherjee, Anil Karanjai and Shail Choyal were there. Everybody was doing his painting or sculpture during the day and in the evening there used to be a slide show and lots of fun. The sword which you made there is still displayed there. Vivans’ father and Geeta were also remembering you. Do you know, our comprehension and thought process grows when we work in a group, which is not possible sometimes when we work alone. The same is the advantage of friends, of good friends, who do their work dilligently with all their heart and from whom we can learn a lot. Isn’t’ it ? For this reason people search for good friends to be amidst them.

Love
Your Ma,
Gogi Saroj Pal
