A couple of laughs
I love laughing and treasure every sudden gem that I come across. Here's a great one from the "middle" in the Deccan Herald of Tuesday, June 4, 2019, by Indu Suryanarayan, who decided to learn music at the then-recently-opened Ayyanar College of Music on Vani Vilas Road, Bangalore:
"I bought a four-and-a-half shruti bamboo flute (to learn from Sri Doreswamy).... Every morning, I left after coffee my flute in hand. On the way, if I encountered toddlers following their mother's advice to answer nature's call squatting by the roadside, I would use my flute to hit them on the head and ask them to go and do it inside." It makes me wonder what else the poor flute was used for!
**************
Having got up at 1.30am to do some ironing, I justtttt shut my eyelids after the alarm rang at 5.30am. I believe in the theory of relativity, because just a fraction of a second later, it was 6 am. This entry is especially for Srikanth, to whom it happened yesterday!
