ETHICS & AESTHETICS :
!976; The venue was C.R.Park, Delhi India. That was my rest-day from Hosp-work.Siting on a chair with a sketch-book and pen (my hobby), I was scanning the road crowd for a `subject`. ..A very shaply young Rajasthani girl with a basket on her head, was offering `new utensils in exchange of old-clothes.
She was scantily clad as she could not cover her body(poverty).
Two/three young loafers were following close and scanning her exposed body with spicy comments..
Instead of making a sketch, I wrote a poem.''''''
(Essence of the poem was: -being unrobed by Duswashana, Draupadi praying to krishna to save her from such embarassment (Mahabharata-analogy). That one event created two outcomes,-did it not ! Ethics and Aesthetics are so much inter-related ! .
