Today I was so happy to meet and spend time with my kindred spirit Dr. K. Ganesh, our former Head of the Department of English, in Campus - aka in the woods.
Thanks to the Department of Philosophy, for having invited Dr. Ganesh for a lecture on Indian Aesthetics. After the lecture, we met up for our routine fun-rendezvous – firstly under the tree, then near the bank, then in the Department – the place where Dr. Ganesh spent almost five decades of his illustrious academic life, right from his PUC days - in MCC.
We fondly remembered our frequent outings to Conferences, Seminars and Workshops – by trains, by flight and sometimes even by car – and the pure joys of those blessed morning strolls that lasted for quite a few hours and that culminated over our strong cups of coffee, as usual! 😊
We also recollected with nostalgia, how. when on the lectern, each of us used to signal to the other to stop our respective talks on time, by dropping a key chain, or by a mock-coughing, especially when the last five minutes is due, and when we were prone to run into overtime mode😉 to help the organisers in whatever little ways we possibly could! 😉
Today, with Dr. David Albert and Dr. Arun Kumar, we relived those memories for hours, ending as usual with our strong cups of coffee! 😊
