    a worthy cause, dear Poppy!
    is it in amber?
    and a mozzy in amber is just such a coooooooool (!) thing to have.
    not one for destruction :)

    Dear Poppy,

    Thank you so much for your beautiful letter. I particularly like the decoration you’ve drawn around the edges of the page. Like the illuminated manuscripts monks and hermits used to make in the days before printing.

    Unfortunately this mosquito isn’t in amber, although it does look it from the picture, so it wouldn’t qualify for your gem collection. You’ve set yourself a tough challenge. Rare and precious things like gem stones are very hard to come by. But the difficulty is what makes it worth doing I suppose.

    Keep looking, and good luck with getting your badge.

    Dear Mr Ansuman,
    It gives me immense pleasure that a Bengali like you got selected out of 300 competitors to be at the Manchestor museum. Wish you all the success.

    Mr. Ansuman,
    Firsty I want to congratulate you for what are doing, it’s not only thrilling but I think the word amazing is the proper one to describe it. I am from Howrah, I have read what you have replied to Subho, he is a child like Poppy I guess, you are absolutely right Mr. Ansuman sometimes it seems horrifying to think that waht kind of world is awaiting them and the most terrible part of the thing is there are few people who are concerned about this. Whatever, you are doing a sacred work, best of luck for the upcoming days. Lastly,as you are a bengali can I call you Ansuman da, if you have no objection then absolutely, you can adress me Deep, my pols call me by that name. Waiting for your reply..
