Amid blogosphere noise, a tribute to Laurie Baker

It is sometimes difficult to find something that is not self-obsessed, inflated and ego-driven prattle in the blogosphere. Most bloggers are so full of themselves that unless you have a prurient interest in the person behind the online persona, you end up getting bored.

But here is a heartwarmingly personal post that surfaced in a google search on Laurie Baker that was refreshing for its sincere tone and its commitment to a truly extraordinary resident of India.

The few responses that it has prompted are equally sincere. Wish there were more of these...

Meanwhile, Gautam Bhatia's book on Baker is rated with five stars on Amazon.com. I found it in Landmark (Apex Plaza) in Chennai.
