A dialogue in distress: cut and paste from my FB

After the comparably long absence of two years from the Americana, I thought I will be home-bound with my driving skills replaced with India's. OMG, the fear was irrational and here I am navigating through the busy streets of Philly and the highways of Pennsylvania in my SAAB. She is always like that: devotion, loyalty,luxury and thrill (sports)- all rolled into one! LikeUnlike · · Share * Nina Kesav and Joseph Ac like this. * * o Cherian Abraham Its not that. Everyone else heard you were driving and just stayed home. April 24 at 9:00am · LikeUnlike o Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. Boy, how're you? Still no improvement with your Butler English? April 24 at 9:51am · LikeUnlike o Cherian Abraham Nope. It never took off after being taught by you. Irreparable damage. April 24 at 2:52pm · LikeUnlike o Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. Most of them took off. You in the 2% that didn't? Breed must be the reason. April 24 at 4:32pm · LikeUnlike · 1 o Cherian Abraham Just 2%? Figures. I suspect others in the Dept had to pull double duty to make up. As for me, I suspect it also has to do with the early morning stops I made at your place on my way home back from Chemistry tuition. Daily dose of your wisdom, that too in the morning, left some long lasting nerve damage. April 24 at 8:46pm · LikeUnlike o Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. I have not taught one; but thousands and thousands from Ranni to Kozhencherry to Chengannur- advocates, teachers, managers, nurses, doctors, IPS officers, engineers, farmers, business-men and home-makers among them: from pre-degree to the master's level. A complaint of this nature is brought to my attention for the first time. Will make an introspection; at the same time I would advise you for a diagnosis to rule out the cause of the brain damage as ADHD or schizophrenia.
