Meet my Dad and look at his Artwork # 6
Yes my dear Friends... As I told you I am here with a portrait of first Prime Minister Late Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. He is our first Prime Minister after Independence. He is also known as Pandit. Jawaharlal Nehru.
Dad painted this portrait in 1957, when he was just learning making portraits. He was 29 years Then. When Mr. Nehru visited Mangalore for a election campaign, my Dad got an opportunity to meet him and thus he could show this portrait and got the autograph. Dad was a Batchelor then. Mom came into his life in 1958 and I was born in 1959.
So this is the 60 years old painting. But somewhere in the eighties he has repaired or retouched it again to prevent it from dust and fungus.
Actually Mr. Nehru has signed on the mount, hence we could preserve it for so long. We still have this painting.
These are his qualifications and below are the list of honors received by him. I've copied this page from my book, as I found it difficult to type everything from my phone.
I was using my phone for my steemit work for all these days, but now my eyes are getting strained. Must start using a laptop now.

No words to express madam. Pranam to him.
Thank you @onlineprds. May I know what is the meaning of this word onlineprds... Any link to intro post to refer?
Pranam very common in North India. It is a way of seeking blessings of elders or a very respectful greeting to elders.
Hi I know Hindi very well,and know the meaning of Pranam.
