How I painted!20
I gave one of my paintings to the Indian Ambassador to the United Nations, Rikhi Jaipal. On behalf of the Indian Government he presented it to the Special Representative for the International Year of the Child.21The Ambassador’s wife’s name was Sushila. She was a very good friend of one of my sponsors who helped me come to America, Ann Harrison.
That was a very beautiful painting. How I painted in those days! The sponge was so good. Look at my agility!
