hi dionne

you all only see the teacher persona
actually i dance all the time...
i dance to my mum when she looks down..
i dance to my son...who always looks away and says..mum stoppit
i dance with my daughter
and my dog too..who runs around wildly...quite clueless about what is going on
my husband just smiles, shakes his head and turns away...
think he is resigned to the fact that he is married to a zany optimist..
secretly, i think he likes it...but being a typical "macho" indian who thinks
expressing his feelings will make him sissy...he just ignores me...

of course i will never dance in front of my students..
my job, and my age doesnt permit me to do so
in fact, when i act crazy at home, my mum chides me...
act your age...she says...
and she invariably asks me...is this how you behave in front of your students?

i just smile and walk away...
famous monologue from William Shakespeare's As You Like It.....

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.....

long story...let me cut to the chase...
you only get to see the teacher role...
and occassionally, the family woman...when i choose to bear my soul...
