It...Hullo Ghetu, thanks for your visit and comment. It is good and important that there is always a diversity of views in society. So your disagreement with "my views" on Singur is perfectly alright. In fact, I have mostly carried others' views. That does not necessarily mean my endorsement of that view. In a context of public debate, I posted things which I thought raised and discussed various issues and concerns.<BR/><BR/>Kaushik, thanks for your visit and comment. As I wrote in the comments section of an earlier post, I did not take your comment on Prof Sumit Sarkar's article personally. I deleted the comment because I thought it was offensive to Prof Sarkar. And I also deleted another comment of yours - the deletion was my response, signifying non-engagement.<BR/><BR/>Whether I have an open mind, or not, whether I have learnt from my travels - I guess people who know me - in real life, rather than merely through the blog - would be the best judges. I'm sure there would be people who felt I was "closed", just as there might be people who think otherwise.<BR/><BR/>But yes, in all modesty I can say that I have gone to places where most people do not happen to go - and I don't mean travel, but life experiences - and have thus gone quite far away from the typical mentality, outlook, concerns etc of others of my socio-economic background. Hence there is considerable variation between "common" views and mine. As well as an aloofness from the mainstream.<BR/><BR/>I do change my views from time to time, sometimes drastically so, with experience enabling better judgement.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>ramaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30321121.post-39263954736859052482007-02-10T16:15:00.000+05:302007-02-10T16:15:00.000+05:30Thanks you friends for your kind comments.

But thats how strongly I feel about it.<BR/><BR/>But that does not stop me from being curious about someone who is so well travelled.<BR/><BR/>I always believe travelling opens up the mind. And if you are so well travelled I am sure you are an open individual.kaushikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177754004998444622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30321121.post-71112475328724414872007-02-08T22:40:00.000+05:302007-02-08T22:40:00.000+05:30I know it is important to 'digest' one's experienc...I know it is important to 'digest' one's experiences of travel, with a period of rest and recouperation.
