At first, Kalidasa was a dunce....
It was a recent rainy afternoon when I finally met the Duke at his sea-side palace; where he was, as you would have seen in the last two references, with "his folks".
Like one of those sessions where a Grandmaster plays thirty chessboards successively, Srinath kept flipping between sports channels, mindful of all the moves. Yes he did regularly revert to what he called "an awesome spectator sport" - golf.
And then we got-a-talking about his deep admiration for Imran Khan and somehow came around to his proficiency in Sanskrit. He is one level below the highest which, interestingly, is called Pravesham or The Entry - because, I suppose, it is one's entry into a world of erudition, as you shall see....
... while Ilaiyaraaja was always a genius
I love the way he gets so emotional and passionate while talking about Ilaiyaraaja! Don't miss the way his mouth goes dry when he talks about the Carnatic vidvaan's!
