You artists have confirmed what I have also experienced: it is when we learn to give the best of ourselves to the world that we are almost entirely relieved of our own personal pain and sufferings. Keep it up and good luck.

The 'GC' in Hindi(or Marathi?) in the last one is so amusing. It will take me quite some time to read it all; I started reading Aisling's website; it goes on and on; collages are interesting to do for a start for me, considering my collection of magazines, photos, clippings and other paraphernalia from over the years.

I often recall and talk to Mike & Mich about how as a schoolkid, you could so easily sketch faces. Truly you have been blessed with the talents from both your parents. You also have a good voice; I remember you used to sing on the children's programme of the Bombay radio station. This is a very honest, down-to-earth intro to your art blog. Such creativity is also a great relaxant and destresser. All that I have written, as always, comes straight from the heart.
