| Something About Artistic Freedom | |
| Something About Artistic FreedomLast week I happened to watch a TV show on artistic freedom debating M.F. Hussein’s portrayal of Goddess Saraswathy as nude. As we all know it was debated enough and dismissed a few months ago and I was a bit surprised how it surfaced again as a hot topic. But controversy always sells! Since the heat and dust over th...

|
|

There is devotion to indulgence of pleasure in the objects of sensual desire, which is inferior, low, vulgar, ignoble, and leads to no good; and there is devotion to self torment, whic...

And I can do this on a train or bus, in a new or old environment, head facing east or west. May be I counted my blessings too soon. There is nothing more blissful than a dreamless sleep. You are fresh next morning ready to tilt your a...

During his time, God was generally portrayed as a frozen perfection, remote, static, and wholly unsociable. No wonder he was disillusioned b...
