    Dear Mr. Tully,

    I was at your book reading at the British Council at Kolkata on June 29, 2007. And you might remember that I had given you a card for the ’50 million missing’ group, the on-line international campaign I have started to raise awarenesses about India’s 50 million missing women. When you autographed my book you also promised in writing that you’d discuss the group when possible. However, I just discovered that there was a little misprint in the card I handed you. The website for the group was inadvertently spelt in block letters but it is case sensitive so it won’t work. The actual address is http://www.flickr.com/groups/50_million_missing/
    I hope this reaches you.

    Dear Sir Mark Tully
    Your early morning talks, on Radio 4, have been a great source of enjoyment and solace for me (a retired, professional, musician).
    I did read Gandhi’s book, “Lead Kindly Light” many years ago, when I was living/working/studying in the aggressive environs of New York City. It was a calming influence.
    The fact that you sweep across so many types of thoughts and music give me the greatest pleasure.
    Thank You.

    If Mark Tully reads this he may remember me as we knew each other when we were in Cheshire. I will be in Delhi this October – 22nd/26th – and would love to meet up with you. I will be staying at the Lalit Hotel.

    Regards – Barry

    Dear Sir Mark Tully
    Your talk, this morning 16/01/2011 was particularly
    heartwarming to me because of your use of various
    composers works (Beethoven, Bach etc.)
    I was a professional musician, before I retired, and do enjoy the harmonic structures that each composer leads one through and found the way you wove the examples absolutely delightful and uplifting.

    Sir Tully. Is there a place where you and Sir Naipaul and Sir Rushdie and any other Sirs connected to India meet and discuss those ordinary mortals who do not happen to be Sirs, even if a few of them may happen to be Surds?

    Btw, do you remember me visiting your house sometime in the 90s. It must have been with David Davidar.

    Anyway, cheers.
    Richard
