It was at a south Indian restaurant in Lower Parel that six-year-old Anushka Niara Mitter first met Mariam, a Down Syndrome patient like her. "What struck me was her resemblance to Anushka. It was uncanny," reminisces Anushka's father, Ananjan, a Lower Parel resident. What ensued was a warm friendship. Four years later, Mitter is holding an art exhibition at Point of View Gallery in Colaba. This is her tribute to Mariam before the Mitters move to Kolkata next month. "Mariam's case is more complicated than Anushka's. We all felt she could do with some help," adds Ananjan.
