I'm on cloud nine!
Our director KTO has a rich student base cos he's been teaching journalism for a great many years in three major institutes in India. Most of his students are sitting at the top of the ladder in big newspaper offices; they're all real big names in the media today.
And, everyone of them, without exception, have been rebuked by KTO for submitting "nonsense." For submitting "garbage." Every one of them have been scolded for his/her copy atleast a hundred times in a year's course.
KTO has excellent dialogue delivery - some examples are "Oh so you guys visited the mental asylum? Why didn't you enrol there?", "Tell me how will you 'brutally murder' your wife - by showing her the headlines you wrote?". :D
Innocuous statements there are plenty, and most of them are negative (which means rebuking you/pulling your leg).
It is in this context that one should seriously consider a "positive" innocuous statement he made today.
KTO - "Hey C, have you done the headline exercise? Hey you, have you any idea what we're talking about?"
C - "Sir..Sir...yes, I've done it. But I don't know where I've kept it.."
KTO (losing his temper) - "Don't sit there at the back. I can't even shout at you! Come here and sit.."
C wanders here and there, looking for a place to sit...
KTO - "Just go sit somewhere. Ah, come here and sit, near this boy (pointing to me). He's the only boy with some brains in this class."
As I said before, it's an innocuous statement for sure. But these "positive" innocuous statement send out a strong message. And, as he's referred to brains and me, it sure is right!!
Phew, at last. Some appreciation from KTO.
