Lot B

Verses from Tagore on missing the day a lotus bloomed, and Nehru’s 1947 Tryst with Destiny speech have inspired some of Keerthana Jhutty’s compositions. Works such as Tryst with Destiny are heavily influenced by poetry, classical Indian literature, and the fading recollections of a childhood in India. Locales such as the deer forests of the Kalakshetra Foundation, the banyans of the Theosophical Society, and a path to a secret playground feature in Jhutty’s pieces.
