• Girish Karnad: The coolest life is as wonderful as death!

       It is only natural for men to expect a name and a price. That's fair too. There should be no objection to that expectation growing. When the expectation expands, there is a sell - off and that includes Sham, Dam, Fine and Distinction. Such people may live brillintly through story telling but their death is not superb.

Thank you..........
