My first Solo exhibition ended earlier tonight. This whole week has been exhilirating. The Opening on the 29th was very well received. I was touched by the speech made by Radha Chakravarty, Shahid Kabir, Baby Maudud and my husband (on my behalf). Each in their own way went a long way in making the [...]
