"I have nothing but happy memories of this great event. Its been the best convention that I have ever attended, and that includes the first world convention in Omiya in '89. The people were just great - all friendly, kind and co-operative. There was such a lovely atmosphere and a complete absence of politics that exists in other places. The participation by bonsai lovers from all over India was quite something. Your exhibition was grand, the trees were excellent and the workshops and demos combined nicely to make this a landmark experience for bonsai in India.
I need hardly mention the social events - they were in a class of their own. I dont think you could get the same in Europe or the USA. I shall always cherish these memories for the rest of my days. You have put Delhi on the international map and you and your entire committee deserve nothing but the highest praise.
Please also thank your very charismatic Chief Minister for encouraging your Association to put on this event. I think she played a very important part in making this a success. And finally I ought to tell you that I probably got more enjoyment from this than what I gave you guys."
