Art (qua art), to me, lies in the form - i.e, it is what you think about when you ignore the functionality. After all, a ₹500 digital watch probably keeps better time than a ₹2500000 Rolex. Why would you then prefer the latter? (I am ignoring, for the purpose of this discussion, the signaling or "conspicuous consumption" aspect of a ₹2500000 purchase.) Udhay
