प्रिय भाई,
देहरादून की लिट फेस्ट की परिकल्पना ही ऐसी अनूठी रही और उस पर
संजीव चोपड़ा दम्पती के साथ आप और आपके अलावा अन्य सभी सहचिंतक, सहयोगी,
इस परिकल्पना को साकार देने में जो दरियादिली और कर्मठता दिखाई, उसने मन मुग्ध कर दिया।
सब कुछ बहुत संजीदगी भरा था। सकुशल पहुंच गया। तीन दिनों की मीठी यादें लिए हुए
और देहरादून वैली की गूंज अपनी स्मृतियों की जेबों में भरे हुए।
इसकी एक रपट हमारी पत्रिका गंभीर समाचार पाक्षिक कोलकता के आगामी
अंक में जाएगी।
आशा है आप स्वस्थ एवं प्रसन्न होंगे। सुधी शुभा पांडेय जी भी प्रसन्नचित्त होगी।
उन्हें मेरा अभिवादन।
हमारा साहचर्य बना रहे, यही हमारी अभिलाषा है।

प्रिय रश्मि जी और संजीव जी,
देहरादून में वैली ऑफ वर्ड्स की ओर से आयोजित साहित्य उत्सव इस नगर के लिए ही नहीं, पूरे उत्तराखंड राज्य के लिए जीवनदायक था. इसकी परिकल्पना जितनी खूबसूरत थी, संयोजन उतना ही भव्य.
मैं समझ नहीं पा रहा हूँ कि किन शब्दों में आप के प्रति आभार व्यक्त करूँ. दरअसल, यह आयोजन कर पूरे देश के लिटफेस्ट वालों को आइना दिखाया है.
मैं डॉ रितुपर्ण के साथ 23 दिसंबर को कलकत्ता आ रहा हूँ. वहीं किसी कॉफी हाउस में बैठकर आभार का विनिमय होगा और अगले कार्यक्रम की रूपरेखा भी तैयार होगी.
फिल आप दोनों को एक सफल साहित्यिक यज्ञ संपन्न करने के लिए बधाई.

3. Sanjaya Varma
Well said. It was a wonderful atmosphere. And not just a collection of the usual "suspects" who move from one Lit Fest to another pedalling their books.
The subjects were well chosen and the speakers held great interest.
I am sure this event will grow from strength to strength.
