Thanks for reading this Gouri.The road from Bangalore to Ooty is good ..and very scenic. Don't forget to stop over at Mysore and Masinagudi to see the animals and birds in the forest. They are a treat too.

But it's the 'finer points' that lift the story out of the ordinary, Indrani! Fortunately, you are very good at them.

A beautiful post Om. We need to be more aware of such women saints who quietly made/make a difference to the lives of thousands of people without any fanfare unlike our modern day gurus.

Please do write another piece on women saints, maybe as a continuation of this blog Om.

Thanks Gouri for your response.

Freedom of expression comes in the form of silence and verbal and artistic expression, both of which can make enough noise. But of course, sometimes, silence is golden in order to avoid conflict.

Couldn't have come across a better response for the article Om!

Yes, freedom comes with responsibility which many of us are either genuinely not aware of or intentionally ignore it.

Agreed, M F Husain had a choice and he made a noise while the others you mentioned did not and quietly carried on with their moving out!

I agree fully and completely with you Irene. Much as freedom of expression needs to be tied down with the chains of responsibility, it also cannot be made into a tool to destroy harmony by people.

Yes, Sneha. The topic, freedom of expression is as difficult as it sounds. While it may seem a simple democratic right, if used unwisely can cause a real riot. And creativity tends to become a victim most of the time here.
