There is a favorite kid of mine who happens to be the daughter of a professor of Jadavpur University. She is in class five. Sometimes we talk about the story books she recently read and my honours syllabus as she finds it very fascinating how we both have Shakespeare and Bond in our syllabus. And she talks a lot. Like a lot. She can talk for any length of time with anyone (I assume) Today she got a few plantable pencils, pens and notepads from school as children's day gift. She showed me all of them. And while she was keeping the pens and the pencils back in the case, she asked for the cover of the nib of the pen (the itty-bitty white transparent cover). I told her it's not important, people throw it away. She said, "I'm not among the people who live in the astonishing world of nothingness" . . . She is in class 5.
