Few memories gets etched permanently and keeps refreshing you with its fragrance whenever you relive it and go through it. It has been always a great feeling to spend time with the distinguished people from the different fields. Once in Mumbai I had a chance to have a good conversation with Shyam Babu – Shyam Benegal.
He was going to make his new movie, starring Shreyas Talpade ( perhaps). We talked about films, his and his favorite ones while enjoying the cup of coffee. I was keenly observing him and he too was observing me as if director viewing the character through the lens. His eyes were looking thoughtful and as if in continuous search. Pauses and smiles.
I showed him his caricatures which I had drawn and during our further conversation I drew one more. He signed all of them and said your strokes are as powerful as that of R K Laxman. What made you to meet me? When in Mumbai then why not to meet Shyam Babu – I replied.
