Hello and greetings to all the lovely people out there. I
feel ecstatic whenever I sit down to share another leap in Amrit's journey with
all of you. This is the third year that we have displayed her work
at Views from Planet Autism at the Habitat Centre and all those of you who
have seen her work will, I am sure, agree that there is a marked maturity
in her work as well as her persona. Indeed Amrit has come a long way. Her lines
have become clear, her concepts have matured, her painting has become neater and
overall her connect with her surroundings and her understanding of the
world around her has seen a huge maturity. For a long time now, Amrit has been
following the news and seems to be interested in reading the newspaper every
morning. In fact it's quite an interesting sight to see her sitting with her
cup of morning tea focused on the newspaper. This newly acquired interested is
very evident in her portraits of politicians and celebrities this year.
One thing that also stands out is the focus on the figures. Off course the
colours and the hues remain as vibrant as ever. The attention to
detail is also a salient feature of her work.
Once again much of the credit to this transformation in her
work goes to her mentor, Mr. Anil Goswami who has been her guide, facilitator
and her pillar of strength. I owe much of this to his unflinching, selfless,
constant support and endeavor. Another wonderful person I cannot thank enough
is Mr. Pabitro, who has been by her side, gently guiding and nurturing her
talent. These two gentlemen have once again given Amrit a reason to smile.
When I sit to write about Amrit, one thing that always
overwhelms me is the gentility of the people who touch her life. My
colleagues, my friends, my younger daughter's friends and their parents, the
network and support has been growing. It leaves me stunned and I cannot but
marvel at the ways God showers his blessings. All these people, Known and
unknown have touched our lives and we are truly blessed to have come in contact
with them.
