In contrast to most of the students or artists who have introduced themselves before in this forum, I am a finance professional who is interested in Indian arts & philosophy. I enrolled in this course because of my understanding that craft is applied art & would like to know more. I have thoroughly enjoyed both the lectures & look forward to the rest of the course.

I would also like to bring to attention some of the adverse reactions against Crystal Palace, which Dr Annapurna may very well cover in the rest of the course. But here is a link about how the Palace was seen in Russian literature, both positively & negatively. All I knew about the Crystal Palace before this course was from Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky.
