Farewell Hilda...

 I am heartbroken to hear about the passing away of one of my oldest friends in the blog world - Hilda Muxo Kilnger.  I came to know Hilda through her blog "pastels" and greatly admired her painting skills and her exuberant personality. She mostly enjoyed painting portraits, evident from the volume of works on display in her blog. Over the years we developed a great friendship and appreciation of each others art. When I was working on Ashokism50 -my 'poetry+art' book, Hilda had graciously sent me her testimonial on my works. And she was the first person outside India to buy my book online and excitedly sent me her wishes on receiving it. 

I will miss you Hilda...May your soul rest in peace my dear friend.

  10. Bonjour,

    Un très très bel hommage... Hilda nous manque déjà beaucoup. Sa disparition m'a énormément attristée.
    Avant la création de mon blog, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on puisse lier des amitiés de cette manière, sans se voir...

    Je vous souhaite une très agréable journée,
    bisous
