I also met to him many timein my city Bikaner  or I were joined to his cultural seminars in organization of LOKAYAN NGO BIKANER . I noticed to his cultural vision , he was feeling to pain of cultural artists and from his efforts he was always trying to give right support to a cultural artist of Rajasthan or Bikaner. He was living to folk culture in his vision . It was great from him for Bikaneri folk culture .
