  4. This is so beautifully penned. Through out the article, I could only imagine you, Gayathri ma’am as a youngster who was amused by the great artiste herself and how she inspired you in multitude. Thank you for making me part of this journey by narrating it graciously and with a pinch of humour, like you always do. I am sure, life comes in full circle. Just like how we all are running towards sanathana dharma, organic farming etc, sooner or later we all will turn back and make efforts to learn and spread the art farm in its authentic sense.
