I didn’t know then of where Amrita Shergill lived otherwise would have gone there to see. I was very interested in your blog which I just happened to find. <br /><br />My father was Frontier force and then 5th Gurkha rifles. But we met when we visited, a rather wonderful man who had been father’s adjutant I think. He organised for us to take my parents to Lahore where we stayed in an amazing home of his friend, curiously nicknamed Sherbet. <br /><br />Regards <br />Sujaya Misra<br /><br />(Sent via email: 06 July, 2020, 11:56 A.M)Sujaya Misranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-9274668359253806142017-04-01T16:30:20.228+05:002017-04-01T16:30:20.228+05:00Jenkins and NQ, thanks for dropping by.

Great research done in revealing connections with different characters and places that are nostalgic to me in Lahore like Dyal Singh and Ganga Ram mansion. Almost felt like being swept into the heydays of art and literature and watching the protagonist closeby as if in a movie. <br />Its inspiring to read how adamant Amrita was in her choice of pursuing one art form, knowing that she was a genius at it, despite her mother's attempts to influence her in learning music. Looking forward to the next part. <br /><br />NQNQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876497131418614132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-68387274740494197922017-03-25T07:50:40.078+05:002017-03-25T07:50:40.078+05:00Anonymous ones, thanks for reading.Anonymous ones, thanks for reading.Tahir Gul Hasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441522340391282744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-23128100299060737662017-03-25T00:20:23.522+05:002017-03-25T00:20:23.522+05:00Great article with well-connected facts and narrat...Great article with well-connected facts and narratives.

I enjoyed every detail especially one particular line where you mention how affluent families sided with the British at the cost of their own people. Something we see today in my country Pakistan as well. The rich trying to be something they are not just to impress the controllers of society.<br /><br />-sghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-84344153017337903312017-03-20T12:18:49.233+05:002017-03-20T12:18:49.233+05:00Amrita Sher-Gil… an enjoyable read!
