Where is the Kumkum in the image?

What I recall from that afternoon is the way MS paid attention to the smallest action, whether it was serving us the refreshment or conversing with us. There was nothing artificial about it. That sense of complete openness and the ability to listen is perhaps an inherent quality that had been nurtured by her after years of practice and devotion to her art form. Whether as teachers or students, we can bring that quality into our own lives. When we pay attention to what we are doing, to the smallest task, we begin to notice a certain flow (or lack of resistance). Whether we agree or disagree, or like or dislike, we are connected to what is happening in front of us.

Truly wonderful lines...But HOW IS THAT the smallest task of adding a KUMKUM to IMAGE of singer got missed, who could actually be MS or thats whom one thinks of reading the article...Its not only you but I have been observing systematically Hindu Women are encourage NOT TO HAVE KUMKUM and our English educated women HAPPILY ABANDONED this kumkum for which they once fought even when their husband died(claiming it as their birth right as they keep it from childhood). But the trend now in all media/advertisements to abandon...in the name of SECULAR IMAGE...Accept all religions images and then say secular NOT REJECTING HINDU images and injecting English secularism to readers and viewers.

Though you say,"There was nothing artificial about it.", I see every possible artificiality in NOT PUTTING A KUMKUM in the image of the singer to please English educated secular readers.... who are also happily abandoning Kumkum
