City Notice – Artist Dayanita Singh’s Gift To The Delhi Walla Website, Museum of Chance General by The Delhi Walla - March 28, 20167 A beautiful gesture. [Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi] One evening at the Museum of Chance in South Delhi’s Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, artist Dayanita Singh, in front of a gathering of some of the city’s fine people, awarded The Delhi Walla website with the title of ‘Archivist of Delhi’. Later, after everyone had left and the museum was empty, she gifted me a copy of her book House of Love. In her inscription, Ms Singh wrote: For Mayank Austen Soofi, 50,000 rupees deposited at Digital Image Solutions for you to make two book dummies—after we have had two sessions on the pleasures of composing/building a physical book even though finally it may well be an e-book.
