At School

40 year ago, I went to a school. There was this English teacher who invariably wore a neck-tie. The Telugu masterji came in dhoti and kanduva. The rest were in-between in their approach to dress. I always wondered why we naturally walk the talk or perhaps talk the walk.


Yes, everything we live through is a smooth landscape well connected thematically, absurdities fit loose and fall out. So acts, thoughts and values are some way related to the entire ecosystem around, intellectual and physical. This explains why a Telugu masterji looks elegant in dhoti.
