Ashamed of my blindness,I press shut eyesagainst piercing truth:a life squanderedin arid deserts.

A splash of colour, easy strokes of a tool and there you have a masterpiece. Getting down to action makes us aware of the practice it needs to reach that stage. I worship the artist as accomplished.

I remember attending a women’s conference organised by a trade union long back. They were scouting around for new members, and saw this as a ‘en bloc’ target market.
