37. Who is likely to be the best ?

·      * A poet becoming a teacher

·      *A novelist becoming a teacher

·      *A dramatist becoming a teacher

As a student of the English Literature  Course offered  in H. H. The Maharajah’s University College, Thiruvananthapuram in the late 1980’s, I had the good fortune to be taught by  a  popular  poet, a renowned  novelist and an acclaimed actor-cum-dramatist.

Each one of them,  I must admit had their own unique approach to teaching.

I did however perceive an edge  in the dramatist!  Naturally too, for what does a dramatist,  who is also the director of a stage performance do? He would try several tricks up his sleeve to get the best out of a potential actor. And while teaching... how can  a dramatist be any different?... Won’t he try to get the best out of a student?

Well... do you  agree with me?
