  Coming Out of the Woodwork
After a checkered career as school teacher, artist and writer, Manju Kak has embraced her latest incarnation as spokesperson for the wood craftsmen of Kumaon with characteristic elan.
Taking up cudgels for this extinct craft came naturally to her, for though her interest in the wood-carving tradition is new, her passion for wood is almost as old as her love for writing.
Kak's association with Kumaon dates back to her school days -- she studied at St Mary's, Nainital -- but it was only two years ago that she re-discovered the region through the eyes of the craftsmen.
