Never intruded on a scene

The first time [meeting him] that comes to mind is when he was exhibiting in our gallery in Delhi, Art Heritage, in 2002-3. It was an exhibition of his works during the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Of course, he knew Ebrahim Alkazi from much before, from the time he [Alkazi] set up the gallery.

Everyone responds to the fact that somehow, he was able to make each one of his frames extremely inclusive of its context. There was a kind of intimacy between him and his subject, even though his frames were broad and panoramic.
