 T.V    PROGRAMME  :  'PANAROMA'  By   PHANI  BASU ;  On   31 / 07 / 1979   Page  4   of  7                                                                         
  WASTE  -  WOOD    SCULPTURE     by  Phani Basu :TV  PRESENTATIOM  ( 31/07 /1979)

Q:  Is it   not  Escapism  tat  being  a  doctor  uou  try  to  engage yourself  in the  Field of   Art  and
      Poetry ?
Ans ;    don't  know   how  you-people    spell  ESCAPISM  or  extract  neaning out  of  it !! So  far  I  have  learnt  about  the   word   it  means  running  away  from the    meaning  of  real  living  in  a   negative  field  of  conscious  living  .
Here  you yourself  say  that I am  a  doctor  in  job , even  a  specialist , Then  i  am  a  family  -man  with   wife and  children  and   neglecting  them. Over more  , you  say  I  am  a  Poet and an  sculptor too.
Now  , to  live  so  intensely  and  actively   and  to  be   in  so  any  channels  of  living;  is  it  Escapism ? !  If  it  is  so , then  let me  put  it  another  way :Leonardo  Da Vin ci. --  an  engineer  , an  Anatomist , a  designer of  air plane  , a philosopher and ---  creator  of thAT   IMMORTAL  "MONA  LISA" !  And  was he  an  ESCAPIST  ??
Or   CHURCHILL , the  Lord of  Battle  field , the   prime minister,the  winner  of  NOBEL  PRIZE  in Literature  and  eve  nore  a  paiter and  brick  -layer. was  he  an  ESACAPIST
Or  Somarset Maughm ;  a  Doctor  and   author  of  " Of  Human Bondage " or  even  ' Bonoful'  a  Doctor  and a Master --story-teller !
So you  see:  to  be  involved  in  expanded  life of  higher  consciousness   is  not  ESCAPISM.
Hope , you change  your  stand .
