Re: On my road to Damascus...
My dear Oviya,
My God,I envie you that wonderful ,impeccable English.
Simply superb.
Coming from a corner in South India, I can’t help but being a southern fish. Pisces Australis, so to speak. Despite living in a country of corn-fed capitalists for some time, I am still a curd-fed conservationist. I believe that I take a conservationist approach to the world and not a conservative approach. Or, that is what I would like to believe. Though I can’t pretend to be pure to the core, I try to preserve and conserve some of the wonderful ingredients that were part of my upbringing. Not because of an intrusive dictat from an unruly Sri Ram Sene, but because of the sheer joy I find in perpetuating the experience. Simplicity, dignity, kindness, pluralism and friendship are the most appealing baits to this Pisces Australis.
