This refers to 'Sisters three' (#220) by Sampada Malla. I write to say that there's a missing link in the chain of Park Galleries established by the late Rama Nanda Joshi. The late Joshi also had his gallery on the ground floor of the then Park Restaurant building at Ratna Park. Hence the name of his salon, Park. In 1967, we Casino Nepal staff used to gather at Ratna Park for our shuttle bus in the evening and went in to talk with Joshi Dai in his showroom and studio. Perhaps the gallery was there well before its street front became our rendezvous every evening. Then the Park Gallery was relocated to his tole, perhaps his own ancestral house, in Pulchok quite close to and across the old Patan Damkal. I hope this information fits in the chronological order of Rama Nanda Joshi's three Park Galleries, and not only the two described in the story. That between the 'Park' Galleries at Lazimpat and Pulchok, there was the actual one befitting the name because it was located at the Park Restaurant/Ratna Park itself.
