Thank you. Humbled by your love of art, trust in my words and pictures, and a willingness to come against all odds and revel in the joy of space like no other. In no particular order: Bhaskar Raman, who drove 50 kms to reignite the light of art in his wifes life. Tripti, so looking forward to your work. Pradip Saha, whose quiet appreciation of the space and the works made me believe again that an open-air exhibit can be just as, or more, intimate than traditional galleries. Manish Bhatnagar, who found the time despite pressing engagements and always overstates my achievements privately and publicly :) Bikramdeep Singh, whose sweet goofiness was a delight had by all Smriti and Rajeev, who made time despite tough parental duties and had overwhelming (and well-deserved) praise for the efforts of Surbhi Mehta Kaly Aani, whose melodious voice as we sat surrounded by paintings and installations made it a true Art Collide experience Jeanny Gering, your compassion is apparent to all you encounter. Your work is most relevant - keep at it. Nima Gupta, your colours, words and persona are a delight more people need to experience. Stay true to who you are. ... and tonnes of people who kept us busy talking about D Art Factory, the artists, the works, the displays, the ambience, the stunning transformation that a factory has experienced to become the most inclusive, welcoming art space in this desert of a city. In gratitude.
