We were out to construct something new; we were in the van of the builders of a new society which should be free, rational, civilized, pursuing truth and beauty. - Bloomsbury Group, a collectivity of friends who lived in or near London during the first half of the 20th century and whose work deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics (Wikipedia) # Thursday, December 18, 2008 ( 1:05 PM ) shut up christine how cute! email from india Dear Ganga i am ghanshyam from banaras group. how r u. what r u doing at present time. r u forget me or remember.
