She worked until the very end. Is this a life to cry for? Every artist dreams of a life like hers, to continue working till the very end.”
He added, “I too want to live long and keep my work relevant till the end, just like her. The life she lived is worth saluting. It is our good fortune that we got to spend time with her and learn from her. She was strict, but she had every right. She was our guru.”
