Dear Amrita,
Writing from Boston, USA, I convey my deep condolence at the passing away of your loving and dearest grandfather, Ram Goswamee. I got the news just now. He was very close to my father, the late Kumudeswar Barthakur, on their joint venture of the great "Library Movement" in Assam. Together, more than half a century ago, they persuaded the countrymen to buy books and make a home library, which was a great boost to publication industry in Assam. They were convinced that without a publication business, literature would not flourish in modern times. I had hours of discussion with him when he decided to write an introduction of my dramas --- Baagh, Bindu, Sarpil and Dweep. It was an unforgettable, self-enriching experience for me. I was overwhelmed with his insight and deep knowledge of dramatic art. I'll be ever grateful to him for introducing my dramas to the readers of Assam. The Eternal Time has His own way of taking away our dear ones. In fact, in February 2001, together with your grandfather at Rabindra Bhawan, Guwahati, I had a rare chance of watching the staging of my drama "Momor Ghar" where Death came not only to individuals, but to a Nation, and your grandfather commented: "Death is like winding up of a well written play." We pray for the peace of the departed soul. With love to everybody, Uncle Himendra From: Himendra Barthakur [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: amrita0710 To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 9:36 AM Subject: [asom] Noted playwright and writer Ram Goswamee passes away.
