Chandan: I am glad that you met him and bought some paintings from him. If you remember we discussed about his paintings in the net last year. I wrote to him at that time. He needs the right encouragement. It is good to see that he could already sell some of his painting hopefully at his asking price. This should encourage others to go for that ine. Rajen
