have had all my major shows in kolkata if i do return to india id want to first go to kolkatathere are reports that youd also be provided with security cover by the government should you returni dont really know what to say to that what good will a bulletproof jacket do what happened to indira gandhi and rajiv gandhi did their security cover manage to save their lives this is a big issue though the supreme court has given a historical judgement in my case does the man on the street understand all that i am a person who loves to mix with people i will feel stifled if i dont do that but having said all this i am still optimistic the indian culture is 5000 years old the greatness of this culture is that it absorbs everyone there might be certain disjointed incidents but the strength of this culture is such that it still forges ahead as a matter of fact one of my most important projects traces the history of indian civilization from mohenjodaro to manmohan singh much before all these complications happened in india i wanted to do this project but i also knew that it might be difficult to implement this project while staying in indiais there is any message that you wish to convey to the younger generationsi belong to the young generation too i feel young and dont wish to be relegated to the pastgiven a choice would you like to change anything in your lifewhat can i change unless one is talking about creative innovations reinvention i feel is essential for any artist today im trying a style that makes use of colour transparency in crystal glass i have reached a stage where i want to express the wealth of our culture through my art i cant remain stuck to the style that i used to adopt 50 years ago my art exists in demolishing the past and reinventing myself
