Relentless Brush Strokes: a Memoir Lali Shankar

Relentless Brush Strokes: A MemoirThis is a tribute to a father who was not only an artist, but an amusing, somber and eccentric character. He was oblivious to some of his aberrant behaviors which embarrassed his wife and children. As a husband and a father he brought meaning to his own life and to his family through indescribable love and caring ways. Appa was a deeply religious man and at the same time he knew when to put away his religious pursuits aside to have some fun time with his family and friends. He enjoyed his solitude when he painted. This memoir is about Appa who married a woman who believed in him and gave him the freedom to pursue what he wanted. This freedom led him and his family through interesting anecdotes. He believed in himself and was not swayed by the highly critical and analytical family and friends that he faced. His compassionate and passionate character is portrayed as a memoir.
