Kalidas Pattar, no more with us
I met Kalidas Pattar many years ago in Davangere. He had received my painting from Nagpur and I went to collect it. He spoke about art when I knew very little about it. I learnt that day. That was 16 years ago. When I moved away from Davangere I kept hearing about him, his work, frequently. I remembered him and all that he had said about art. I met him again at Chitra santhe,in the December of 2005, I rushed hurriedly to greet him. I said I am "veena Shekar" He said "Ah, of course you came home to collect your painting" how are you?
I was amazed how he remembered me after 15 years. I bought some cards from him that day and keep them cherished with me.
An artist is a human being first and one who shows it raises and remains in the memory of others always.

It was amazing that the gentleman remembered you after 16 years, that too when you had met him for a short while. This only proves how much involved he was in your conversation with him. Only people like him who are committed and involved in their works can achieve greatness, I guess.
Thanks for the post
