And poor Sathyan and Santanu will not be aware of the hullabaloo they have unwittingly triggered.<br />Should't we all see the comments on this post with a bit of stoicism. Where we probably miss the subtleties is in trying to express ourselves with a serious air.<br />One can understand the exasperation of people (includes me as well) who are tethered and constricted by the unwritten rules of their profession. Sitting in the chairs we did not aspire for I understand is destined to make us envious of the Sathyans. And hence wee choose to be spiteful to onurselves.<br />But looking back don't most of us wonder 'why did not I'? 'And why Sathyan'?anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606715.post-58210523238667670422010-05-30T03:28:33.594-07:002010-05-30T03:28:33.594-07:00Stoic,

When in the age where MBBS graduate doctors are churned out by the benefit of bonus marks and politically manipulated reservations and are unleashed amongst us as half baked physicians with authority to play with our lives at whim, the sincerity of a lay person like Sathyan is certainly a relief. There is at least somebody how so ever obscure who loves his profession. How else can one see and explain why Sathyan did his bit of research and got into the relegated facts of historical events and then disperse the knowledge to the tourists who venture to his forte? If Sathyan had stuck to the stereo typed ranting of a tourist guide would any of us who stray in to his domain ever know the subtle unknown nuances of history? Then the gentleman who bought this book in the ”obscure” language- well do not many of us have books that we bought for the love of books and letters but still have not read them? And is it not the quirk of fate that the book has now been opened wide by some one else. <br />Perhaps books like trees have to be bought or planted not for us but for the lives to follow.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606715.post-53927333397704054392010-05-27T05:37:06.363-07:002010-05-27T05:37:06.363-07:00Sathyan and Santanu.

Sathyan (he is a Tourist Police constable, right?) wasted his money and energy to learn history (Of all things!). He should have concentrated on his increments, pay revisions, DA etc etc and used his ‘position’ to make some extra money from all those disturbing visitors. Then Santanu, I can’t comprehend how one can spend money on a book in some obscure language in the name of camaraderie. They certainly are not fit for this world.Ashok Menathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468133172371448210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606715.post-7406993646545578582010-05-24T04:19:03.458-07:002010-05-24T04:19:03.458-07:00This interaction with this tourist cop I m certain...This interaction with this tourist cop I m certain must have been an interesting experience.<br />In contrast the ridiculous and nonsense that is coughed by the so called guides stationed at various tourist locales of historical significance Sathyan is an erudite who has laboured to make his profession one of learning,fun and enjoyment not only to himself but to the many who venture into his forte.<br /><br />I recall the guide at the Agra Fort whose woeful knowledge was shameful and comments stupid. There was this guide who was chuckling and reminding me of the many wives Shajahan had and wanted me to enjoy his tongue in cheek comments on Shajahan's marital and extra martial exploits and his giggle that ensued.<br />Perhaps you can give me some details about the book and where it can be bought from.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.com
