  1. I appreciate highly the at of Mr. Agarwal Rajendra since 1991 when I came to know him. He was a member of the Boris Georgiev Art Club /Boris Gorgiev used to be a student of the Famous Russian Artist ans Philosopher Nikolay Ryorich/. I lost since then the connection with him but I would like to re-establish this connection, if possible.
    Ancient Bulgarian /Thracian/ culture and Indian culture have much in common and we fill like brothers.
