03/01/2012 My dear Gogi and Ved, I enjoyed the day spent with you surrounded by potatoes and onions ! I could almost smell them and the social message they conveyed was incredible. It was indeed a treat for the eyes and soul. The makai ki roti and sarson ka sag added that extra zing on an otherwise cold day in Delhi. Your zest for life is infectious ! I have come back with renewed vigour and have started working. Will send you images when a few are ready. Much love, Rekha Rao
