Her first taste of freedom was when her aged parents brought her and her 4 children back from an abusive marriage.
Since then she has been helping herself to a special freedom, freedom to learn !
She recently called me one night , to ask me to go "wherever I go on the computer to find out stuff" (read Google) and verify some eclipse info for her; an expecting daughter-in-law made this important. ( I Blogged about it here).She has seen me search online for medicine information for her.
She has "learned" Google; it doesn't matter who is typing.
Enjoys seeing photos of trips, and covered her head respectfully when I showed her some, of our visit to some famous Ganpati temples in Kokan.
Many photos which had her go ,"Agobaya !"
Illiteracy doesn't stop her from learning.
The keyboard doesn't matter, she can't read it anyway.
She knows how to select photos from the Thumbnails. And marvels at the photos.
The best kind of freedom ; Freedom to learn and enjoy the learning !
Freedom to learn and gain knowledge in any form useful to us, is seriously a very big boon.
ReplyDeleteA taste of real freedom! It's wonderful isn't it. What's education if we cannot share our world with others who do not enjoy as much luxury (read 'access') as we do!

ReplyDeleteSuperb post! Kudos to her!
ReplyDeletelove the concept behind the image. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. What more freedom one could get? To be educated does not necessarily require one to know how to read and write. Let her enjoy this freedom to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteTo be able to go beyond limitations is so inherrent in humanbeings. Somwhere along, we miss it !
ReplyDeleteit requires an incident, a person or a gradual realisation to get back that curiosity that rests within. You are somebody who inspires that curiosity so well !
Well done ! And the best wishes to her ! She continues to inspire ! through you !
you have expressed it beautifully:)
