An introduction to "Bhamlada" My first introduction to "Bhamlada" was in 1982, when I came here to look for a plot of land for building my studio. I was impressed by the panoramic scenic beauty viewed from this place. This is a place I found, that allowed the sensitive viewer to enjoy the spread of two important mountain ranges adorning the northern and eastern horizons in a majestic manner while the hills and the valley below are covered by flora of different shades. Appreciating the natural beauty of a place and staying there for life are two entirely different aspects, especially when the place lacked may basic amenities. For more than ten years electricity and running water at home was an elusive hope and my mother and I faced various difficulties of hard life in this rural region in the hills so far away from our native place. Perhaps I forfeited a lot of my personal joys that I would have enjoyed as a part of a highly developed cultural world in Calcutta. Perhaps life would have been much more easier for mother and myself if I chose to live in a metropolis or migrated abroad when I had several chances to do so, yet, I can say that "Bhamlada" gave me a lot in life, and it would be proper to acknowledge the rare joys that nature allows an artist in such a place only. This portfolio is my tribute to Bhamlada, the little village in north-western Punjab, in India, which I also call my home.
