An innocuous Gauri comment inspired this 8 hour project.
While my top notch photo organization helped me in a big way, the trick was not to find just another photo (lots of them) or a good Rhea photo (all of them), it was finding a photo that captured the context of her life in that month in that year.
Here I am. The blank cells are a shame on me. If anybody has photos of her for those slots, mail it to me. If you don't have my email id, you wont have her photo either :)
