By Mahesh DattaniThere was a time when I used to see Girish Karnad almost every morning. The morning public comprised retired officers, men in monkey caps, women in saris and sneakers, the occasional oddball writer like me, and the lone celebrity in our midst — Girish Karnad. But there were more people in the park seeking audience with Mr K. Girish would have a look that spoke the unwritten sign — Do Not Disturb. Girish and Saraswati were gracious enough to come to my plays and also release my anthology of plays. But I can say that I knew an artistic giant who dared to speak his mind.
