Funny incident :)

Not that it should interest anyone. Yesterday in class, Dr Lal, who was doing Karnad's Hayavadana with us, asked why during Yakshagana performances (or for that matter in most traditional stage performances) children are made to sit in the first rows. The answer came later: being more expressive than grownups, they allow the actors or performers to play off their reactions. One of the first answers came from...
Arijit Sett: Because they're...like...kids...
Dr Lal: Yes, they're kids, but why in front?
Arijit Sett: Because they're kinda short.
I found it hilarious. You might not. Don't worry.

    hmmph. amo non. laudat non. only nauta necare poeta. (ignore errors).

    but, speaking of perspectives, how about this --

    the teacher wrote on the blackboard - OK
    i thought, OK. OKAY.
    the class yelled out, 0 K (zero K) :(

    perspectives, can be very alienating.
