And thus, I pay my respects to my father, my guru in printing and theatre, and my friend.
My wife Meena, my brother Rajeev, my daughters Shariva and Manava have assisted me in this venture. I thank them. I also thank Seema Arolkar, a close associate in my earlier ventures, for preparing the visual material. I thank Dr. Bal Bhalerao (Dr. Amrut Narayan Bhalerao’s son) for giving me this opportunity to begin the centenary under the auspices of the Sahitya Sangh. I also thank Mr. Subhash Bhagwat and Ms. Kirtikar for helping with the arrangements.
Thank you for giving me a patient hearing.
