I couldn't afford it at that time so used to spend long hours at the library.<br /><br />I have a question for you Mr. Ghosh. Did you happen to meet him by chance or on purpose.

I remember I used to be fascinated by the illustrations in Chandamama too- there was so much grace and fluidity to the characters and one could almost visualise movement in the pictures...<br />You're indeed lucky to have met the artist whom most of us associated with magical fantasy! One almost forgets the reality/ the fingers that hold the brush behind the images!Ardrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005169454353807178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-63955808609552832262009-11-07T12:32:35.993+05:302009-11-07T12:32:35.993+05:30Thanks a lot!
