Dear Ganesh, RD, Ramesh , and the whole team / coffee table book
How does one say Thank you, for this peice of exquisite art collection, now, gracing our homes , our hearts.
For the Thought, the seed, the dream , the purpose of putting it all together
For the determination, the resolve, the selflessness , the hours, to pour over 10,000 images, in your already busy lives.
For no personal gains, agenda or motives, but for the pure joy of GIVING.
For the belief , that these images from all corners , cultures, deserve a place of pride in this fashion
For the several trials and tribulations, of decisions for paper , print, format, dry runs, proofs, traffic, backbreaking hours.
For the dogged determination , that this will be one of a kind collection, limited edition.
For the several mails , follow ups, chasing each one of us and so on and so forth.
For , making each image owner, walk tall, beam from ear to ear,be inspired, recharged, and fall in love all over again( image of course)
For being humble, accessible, encouraging, appreciative and seeing art in our littlest of experiments.
i can go on and on,
And the icing on the cake, to personally reach out and deliver the books, in the trunk of your car, to locations off your route, amidst chaotic traffic and the setting sun, with the pride and joy written all over your face... i likened it to our custom and tradition of personally handing over the wedding card invite of ones daughter, to family and freinds.
to sum it up, " what have we done to deserve this"? sounding mushy?? im sure we all are gushing,
even as i write this, the images from this book smile on ..creatively of course.
i do hope someday we can pass on forward, this effort to others in anywhich way.
