खत | A Letter
I remember reading letters that my mother wrote to my father. She wrote them with fountain pens- a habit she formed during our stay in the Middle East. I could tell the state of her heart from each mildly distinguishable curve and slant. No two letters were ever the same. And I realize in intimate business there is no notion of photocopy. And writing and reading about art is a personal experience. So, my dear readers, our first-ever Issue comes to you as a love letter from my heart to yours. As each artist brings a unique perspective through the coming together of their mind and hand, each issue or letter will be different each time. Before this art letter takes us any further let me begin our journey with a prologue.
Bridge Bharat is a curated collection of Indian legacy arts and antiquities. We empower both the art connoisseur and the novice buyer to discover, learn, and acquire art from some of India’s finest generational artists.

Remember those cold days of January when moods and flights were all grounded, I managed to find my way to Bhilwara to visit the national award-winning Pichwai artist Dinesh Soni. It was one of those miraculous day when the sun shone down on me. I think Delhi was still shrouded in fog but in the town of Bhilwara, warmth and magic were awaiting me at Dinesh Soni’s Studio. In my first love letter let me gush about that experience when dialogues opened up for me regarding Pichwai, discipline, and global warming from the unique perspective of Dinesh Soni.

I would like to end this letter with an introduction. I met Aakanksha via Google Meet. My rectangular laptop screen didn’t tell me much about how tall she was but within five minutes of talking, I knew I was in the company of a woman who cared as much about the artists and their practice as I did. Almost a kindred event when we both gushed to each other about different Indian legacy art forms that I forgot the anxiety of first meetings. She can tell better about her accomplishments and her journey in building Bridge Bharat but here in this limited space I can say that one cannot deny her passion for Indian legacy art and of course her love for all pastels which I think comes from her life in Nainital

It was a few months back that we decided to start a newsletter. There were many iterations. In the end, I knew how I wanted to write to you all- with love and compassion. And I believe that is our ethos at Bridge Bharat.
I will await your response.
Love.
Avali
