Dear Friends, Bonjour, Namaste, Kem Chho? Saying Goodbye… Everything that has a beginning has an end and I see the end of my mission in Gujarat coming. During my 1,460 days (approx.) as the Director of the Alliance Française in Ahmedabad and its Branch in Baroda I believe that this Indo-French institution has accomplished a lot, for itself but also for all our public, friends, members, students and partners. Construction of our new premises I Concerto for sarod with Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, his 2 sons and the Symphonic Orchestra from Avignon I Establishment of the Heritage Section I OZMA-DARPANA artistic project during 2 years and in 2 countries I Clarinet concert inside the Durbar Hall of the Laxmi Vilas Palace in Baroda I Several visits of H. E. the Ambassador of France to India and the Consul General of France I Photo exhibition in the old city of Ahmedabad I Architecture projects over a period of 3 years with Xavier Wrona I Official award to Shri B. V. Doshi by the French Govt. I Reinforcement of our relations with the pedagogical institutions in Gujarat… This list is (almost) endless thanks to the support, involvement and participation of all. Though this editorial space does not permit an exhaustive list, I would like to ensure that I thank here a few people. First, the Executive Committee of the Alliance, through its President, Mr. Pavan Bakeri, who among many other things taught me to be willing to take some risks. I have rarely met a person with so much energy and dedication about his various commitments. In a nutshell, the Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad would not stand where it is now without his constant dedication and support. The staff, especially Raj Vakil, Paresh Punjani, Chintan Pandya, our team of teachers and everyone who constantly believed in what is the best for our students and members. Your professionalism, kindness and energy are the reasons that we have seen our dreams becoming a reality. Of course, nothing would have been possible without the constant support of our members and partners, the Embassy of France in India and the Institut Français. Thank you all! Whatever the future brings to YOUR Alliance Française, I will be watching and cheering for you all. A big thank to all the people I have met during these 4 years, for what they have taught me and what they have accepted to share with me and with the AF. “Faites que le rêve dévore votre vie afin que la vie ne dévore pas votre rêve”* – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Saying Goodbye… but goodbyes are sad so I would rather say hello. Hello to the new adventures and projects of AF, and there are many! Everybody will be needed on board to write the future narrative of the Indo-French Cultural Center of Ahmedabad. I am going to leave you more full of hope, than the day I arrived and more confident that the best days of the AF in Gujarat are still to come.
